ABAHAVJETT SINGH SACHAL & SUKHMEET SUNGH SACHAL

Abhayjett Singh Sachal & Sukhmeet Sungh Sachal In July 2016, Abhayjeet Singh Sachal traveled to the Arctic through the Students on Ice Foundation. His brother, Sukhmeet Singh Sachal, spent six months in 2017 living with Inuvik, NWT, 300 km above the Artic Circle. Their experiences galvanized a vision for walking with youth in Northern communities, which responded to the mental health, social stigmatization, and rates of suicide that impact these new friends. They created Break The Divide – a network committed to connecting students and creating change in their lives and their communities. These brothers bring a message that is shaped by their values as members of the Sikh community, and that is a gift to those who have an opportunity to engage with them.
