About Me

My name is Ariana, and I’m a Grade 11 student at Hill Spring School. I’ve been volunteering at Muktangan every Friday, where I assist teachers and interact with children in the early grades. Over time, I’ve come to appreciate how Muktangan’s approach makes learning joyful and meaningful, especially for children from under-resourced communities. Supporting Muktangan in the Tata Mumbai Dream Run feels natural to me because I’ve seen firsthand the difference their work creates. It’s inspiring to be part of an organization that values education, inclusion, and creativity, and I’m proud to represent them through this run.

Appeal

Every Friday, I volunteer at Muktangan, teaching and spending time with children who inspire me with their energy and curiosity. Over the months, I’ve seen how education can truly transform lives, even in small moments, a smile after learning something new, or the confidence that comes from being understood. Running for Muktangan in the Tata Mumbai Dream Run is my way of giving back to a place that has given me purpose. Each step will represent the joy, resilience, and hope I see every week, and my belief that every child deserves the chance to learn and dream freely.
