A huge congrats to SAHDI's Member of the Month (M.O.M) for March: Riya Kaushal !
What does SAHDI mean to you?
"SAHDI allows me to reconnect with my ethnic roots and appreciate the culture of my people and region. The club creates a space for me to take action about issues that occur both domestically and internationally. I visit India, almost every year, and each time I go, the amount of homeless people increases drastically. Malnutritioned children, barely wearing any article of clothing, are knocking on car windows begging for money. It breaks my heart to see a child working at such a young age. No kid deserves to spend his or her youth in struggle. But instead, he or she should be attending school, getting an education, and breaking this cycle of poverty. In addition to homelessness, lack of education, and poverty, there are several environmental issues affecting the lives of those living in villages. I joined SAHDI to tackle some of these issues, provide aid, spread awareness, and improve the lives of people living in both rural and urban areas. I really love being part of SAHDI because the club consists of such diverse and dedicated students trying to make a difference."
