Eva Saramya

Hey, my name is Eva, and I’m a sophomore at Wake Forest University. My intended major is Health and Exercise Science with a double minor in Entrepreneurial Studies and Bioethics on the pre-medical track.

I went on the GYLP trip in 2018-2019 and 2019-2020. My experience was not only memorable but truly life-changing. I learned so much, improved my leadership style/skills, and co-led and taught the most amazing children in Manjakuddi. I was a part of the 2022-2023 GYLP trip as well, serving as a youth chaperone. All of the skills I acquired in Manjakuddi inspired me to create this team along with my five other friends. Our initiative started in 2020, and we plan on continuing and expanding our impact with our team-oriented approach.

Some of my interests include going to the gym, photography, and cooking/baking.

Diya Varma

Hi, my name is Diya! I am a rising junior in Nova Southeastern University’s B.S./D.O. program studying Neuroscience and Public Health.

I went on the 2019-2020 GYLP trip, and my experience definitely changed me for the better. The bonds that I created with the students in Manjakkudi are truly unforgettable, and as much as I taught them about English, math and science, they taught me just as much about how to be more respectful and patient through their actions.

A few of my interests include music, photography and painting.

Rushil Suresh

Hi, I’m Rushil, and I’m studying Clinical Psychology at the University of California, San Diego looking to become a psychiatrist.

I went on the 2018-2019 and 2019-2020 GYLP trips, and had an absolutely stunning experience with the lovely kids there. The experience is surreal in the serene village of Manjakkudi, and being a part of the Youth Ambassadors is my way of continuing that ideal.

Some of my interests include photography and aviation.

Sneha Anand

Hello, my name is Sneha, and I’m a sophomore at Rutgers University majoring in Cell Biology & Neuroscience and minoring in Music.

I went on the 2019-2020 GYLP trip and had an amazing teaching and learning experience. GYLP taught me more about how to be a leader, and I am grateful to AIM for Seva for giving me a platform in which to learn and leave a positive impact on these wonderful children.

Following my amazing experience in Manjakkudi, I went on to volunteer as an ambassador to continue AIM For Seva’s growth and impact. I strive to work with my peers to increase change through bigger fundraising projects for years to come!
