Ever since I was a little child I�ve always wanted to do my bit to make a difference in the world. There are 7.4 billion people in this world, which means there are 7.4 billion stories to be told. Being able to change someone�s story for the better is for me, a blessing which enables me to give back, and I therefore seize this opportunity to help bring a little light into someone�s life. Every time I look out the window, I see poverty and starvation, children crying and people who don�t have access to basic needs, which I take for granted, I feel a tug at my heartstrings. I start to see the world not through my rose tinted glasses, but through the eyes and feelings of the ones who are not born with a silver spoon. I feel I must do something, anything, however small to alleviate their plight rather than turning away, as the quality of their life really matters to me. Contributing through the Light of Life organization is my chance to contribute to break the divisive chains between the have�s and the have not�s and strive towards a better, more egalitarian India in the words of Mahatma Gandhi , � we need to be the change we want to see in the world . �
