Our Headmistress: Caitalin Petruccio

We have finally selected the head of Sarswati Peace School. And here is a message from the headmistress:

Dear Sarswati community: I would like to say that I am incredibly

honored to announce that I will be accepting the position of

Headmistress! I look forward to working with everyone at the Sarswati

School and am anxious to get started.   With such an amazing group of

people I know we can accomplish great things. On a personal note, I am

finishing up my work in India and will be spending May/June completing

my coursework on social conflict in Israel/Palestine. Everyone in

India has wonderful things to say about Nepal and I am ecstatic to

arrive in July!

Namaste,

Caitlin
