Ms Petrina Satvinder is the co-founder and current Chief Executive Officer and Principal of Dignity for Children Foundation. In 1995, Petrina and her husband, Rev Elisha, pioneered New Covenant Community Church. The church was active in providing care to the poor communities around it. Her heart became burdened for the children who were illiterate and left behind that she encountered in Sentul. Thus, began the work of Dignity. Elisha and Petrina strongly believe that education can and must take place beyond the four walls of a classroom, that education of the mind must go alongside.
