For Dhaksha Aniesh, the answer lies in one word - </span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;color:#111827;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">Bhumi</span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;color:#111827;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;text-align: justify;margin-top:12pt;margin-bottom:12pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;color:#111827;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">Hailing from Chennai and currently pursuing a postgraduate degree in Biomedical Engineering at IIT Madras, Dhaksha’s journey with Bhumi began in 2023. What started as an interest quickly turned into a commitment - one that empowered not just children in underserved communities but also helped Dhaksha discover a new dimension of self-leadership.</span></p></span></h4><h3 dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;text-align: justify;margin-top:14pt;margin-bottom:4pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;color:#111827;background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">Sparking a Love for Science</span></h3><h4 dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:12pt;margin-bottom:2pt;"><span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;text-align: justify;margin-top:12pt;margin-bottom:12pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;color:#111827;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">With a passion for learning and teaching, Dhaksha introduced engaging, hands-on science experiments to students in Bhumi's after-school programs. For children who rarely experienced practical learning, these experiments weren’t just about science - they were about excitement, confidence, and joy.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;text-align: justify;margin-top:12pt;margin-bottom:12pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;color:#111827;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">But Dhaksha didn’t stop there. He envisioned a larger experience, one that would open up a world of curiosity and wonder. That vision led to organising a unique planetarium visit for children from six different shelter homes. “Watching their faces light up as they gazed at the stars - that was the highlight of my journey,” Dhaksha shares.</span></p></span></h4><h3 dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;text-align: justify;margin-top:14pt;margin-bottom:4pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;color:#111827;background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">From Quiet Observer to Confident Leader</span></h3><h4 dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:12pt;margin-bottom:2pt;"><span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;text-align: justify;margin-top:12pt;margin-bottom:12pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;color:#111827;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">Initially shy and reserved, Dhaksha credits Bhumi for helping him step into leadership roles. He now plays an integral role in the Bhumi Club Model, inspiring peers and younger volunteers to take charge.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;text-align: justify;margin-top:12pt;margin-bottom:12pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;color:#111827;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">“I never thought I’d be able to lead or plan big events,” he says. “Bhumi helped me build confidence and showed me that introverts can lead too.”</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;text-align: justify;margin-top:12pt;margin-bottom:12pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;color:#111827;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">Dhaksha is passionate about encouraging others like him - those who hesitate, who feel unsure - to take that first step. “Opportunities don’t wait. Sometimes, you just need to say yes and figure it out on the way.”</span></p></span></h4><h3 dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;text-align: justify;margin-top:14pt;margin-bottom:4pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;color:#111827;background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">More Than Volunteering - A Second Family</span></h3><h4 dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:12pt;margin-bottom:2pt;"><span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;text-align: justify;margin-top:12pt;margin-bottom:12pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;color:#111827;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">Beyond the programs and activities, what keeps Dhaksha rooted in Bhumi is the sense of belonging. “It feels like a family - we laugh, learn, support each other, and grow together,” he reflects.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;text-align: justify;margin-top:12pt;margin-bottom:12pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;color:#111827;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">Outside of volunteering, Dhaksha is a fan of Marvel movies, enjoys sketching, and finds joy in quiet walks and deep conversations. He dreams of launching his own venture in the biomedical space in the next decade, but wherever his journey takes him, he knows one thing for sure - he will keep giving back.</span></p></span></h4><h3 dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;text-align: justify;margin-top:14pt;margin-bottom:4pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;color:#111827;background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">The Path Ahead</span></h3><h4 dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:12pt;margin-bottom:2pt;"><span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;text-align: justify;margin-top:12pt;margin-bottom:12pt;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-84811cf7-7fff-aa63-8efa-f201146e6344"></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;text-align: justify;margin-top:12pt;margin-bottom:12pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;color:#111827;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">With dreams in his eyes and service in his heart, Dhaksha is on a mission to blend science with social impact. His story reminds us that sometimes, the biggest transformations happen not in laboratories or lecture halls, but in the smiles of children who finally feel seen, heard, and inspired.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:12pt;margin-bottom:12pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">#HumansOfBhumi #Volunteering #Bhumi</span></p><p></p></span></h4></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span>
