Founder  

Shetal has a Master’s degree in Business Administration from St. Edward’s University in Austin, Texas. After selling the business she owned for over seven years, she turned her hobby of photography into a part-time business. She enjoys capturing faces and the stories behind them.  Shetal’s photos appear monthly on the cover of Neighbors of Four Points magazine. She is the mother of two teenage boys who have worked with her in giving back to children in Africa. She is dedicated to spending the time and effort necessary to make Sparkle and Rise a success in connecting people in the US with underprivileged children around the world. She says, “We can’t change the circumstances these children were born into, but we can give them the opportunity to succeed with the medical care, education, and resources they so desperately need.”
