![]() |
Pooja is the Founder of Letters of Love and has been the driving force behind the movement ever since its inception in October, 2015. Letters of Love is a global youth-led initiative and a member of United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees' #WithRefugees Coalition. With a team of 25 with an average age of 22 across 11 countries, Letters of Love aim to make a difference to refugee crises, one smile at a time. Founded in 2015 after the gruelling Syrian War & Refugee crisis caught attention of global media and created international outrage, a team of 30 volunteers across 10 countries helped actualise an idea of spreading smiles across refugee children by sending them handwritten postcards for New Years.
In addition to this Pooja Pradeep was the Chapter Director of India and the current India Representative for The History Project, a Cambridge Social Venture that uses juxtaposed narratives of Indo-Pak History as a tool to inspire critical thinking & empathy amongst students. She is a Counselor at Seeds of Peace International Camp every summer and enables learning experiences for teenagers from Israel, Palestine, India, Pakistan, Jordan, Egypt & the United States of America.
