Palakh Khanna - Nominee - Social Volunteer Awards 2021
I am Palakh Khanna, an 18-year-old individual who has been working with an organization called Instilt Educate, an NGO working towards bettering the lives of young children and leveling the playing field, between children who come from more fortunate backgrounds, and those who don't have the same privilege, one class at a time. We provide free, quality tutoring to underprivileged children to help them come out of their web of poverty and rise and actually make a mark on this world, with no privileges attached! And, as a Tutor at Instilt Educate, I believe in the motto of creating an enlightened youth through education and awareness and mastering English. However, while I was working with Instilt, I realized, that the so-called privileged society is not happy and that is when I starting mentoring Optiverse which is a student-led, non-profit organization on a mission to build an Optimistic Global Community for students by students. I work with a large team of more than 150 members from 15+countries. Through both these organizations, I wish to help both the underprivileged as well as the better off~
Along with that, as an environmentalist, I am also the Global Ambassador for Global Conscience World where we believe that our actions can make an impact and we make individuals aware about how they can practically help in saving the environment at the global level. Ultimately, all the 3 organizations narrow down to a similar motto of “Together, We Can” and I am a strong believer in that! Thank you!
VOLUNTEERING FOR ME
Volunteering is taking action to change someone's life and I firmly believe that it can transform a person's future for the best. I love to volunteer because I believe that my actions may change someone's life, bring them out of poverty or disability and actually allow them to live a better life.
VOLUNTEERING STORY
It begun with the school volunteering programme, where we taught a single child and helped them to grow in life. After this, I joined Instilt and I started teaching a group of children. The joy this gave me motivated me to join Optiverse because I felt that social work not only includes the poor but also the other parts of the society and with Optiverse, we started improving the lives of the better off.
VOLUNTEERING JOURNEY
I have been a volunteer for the past 3 months and I love volunteer because I believe that the underprivileged need to be brought out of their web of poverty.
