Shyama Tanwar

Shyama is the Managing Trustee and the HR Manager at Sambhali and has become an indispensable part of the team since she joined in at the beginning of 2015. Her role covers all areas of administration, including staff coordinator, accounting and day to day admin.

With a BA in administration, Sanskrit and education, Shyama came to Sambhali following over 20 years spent teaching Hindi and Sanskrit. She was initially attracted to her role at Sambhali as she wanted to become more involved with humanitarian and social work – indeed this is now her favourite part of the job. Shyama is 53 years old.
