I am Tanmay Patel. I first heard of Aahana when I started my graduate program at Drexel School of Public Health. From there I started following their work with the Mamta School through Facebook, Instagram and of course their website. I always imagined myself doing the type of work Aahana does, so I contacted them to get involved.

Luckily my roommate knew Aahana founder Rina Patel since childhood and was nice enough to get me into contact with her. I met with her and she explained to me what she is doing and how far she wants to take the organization. Honestly, I was inspired and by the end of the meeting I had already offered my help.
