Our Little Story
PRAGNA ATTENDED BOSTON MARCH FOR OUR LIVES
In 2018, Pragna attended “March for our Lives” rally in Boston to show her support for schools as a safe space for children around the world. Seeing the energy in the crowd and hearing about the issue, she was so inspired that she wanted to help with the cause of bringing friendship, love, care, and empathy to every child around the world. She kept persisting and created FriendshipWeek!

In 2019, FriendshipWeek celebrated friendship, kindness, empathy, care, and love with 100,000 kids around the world. Media noticed [Boston Globe, Westwood Weekly] and appreciated Pragna’s vision of taking friendships and hugs to families around the world.
COVID19 OUTBREAK SETS BACK PRAGNA’S VISION
After a successful 2019, Pragna had set her eyes at taking her mission to spread friendship to 1 million children/ families around the world by delivering hugs and friendships. With two months into 2020, the world suddenly stalled due to the outbreak of #COVID19. While her ambition was not impacted, but the roads to her goal were blocked. She was sad but determined.

Pragna’s relentless drive to get her mission to 1 million people leads to a sparking idea. Take friendship virtual. She took the idea of virtual playdates, tried it a few times to capture the experience, and started working on a virtual playdate model to connect children around the world via virtual playdates.
