Shahida Kishver

​
I’m passionate about cycling and particularly like to see the rapid changes in mindset when women attend sessions for therapy on a bike.
​
As a long time, trustee of GVS I take a keen interest in how children at the school are going through various stages of learning and developing into responsible citizens for the future of Pakistan.
​
Early years education has always been a passion so seeing the children develop, whilst the educational standards of GVS are being raised constantly is something I’m very proud of .
