"I aim to simply be able to bridge the gap for there are so many people that are willing to give and so many in need, and the constant desire to connect both worlds is exactly what motivates me. My parents and my school have been instrumental in inculcating a sense of social responsibility and global understanding in me," says Simran.

This gave me a thought about what can I do from my side and eventually I came up with the idea of "Art for a cause", where I can create paintings and sell them to raise money for a noble reason. Also, I have been able to get donations from the audience of my YouTube channel", says Shalini.
