Hi, I am Shashaank A. Venkatesh of Class XI-A at the Chirec International School in Hyderabad. My hobbies are playing the guitar, writing poetry, debating and playing basketball and cricket. Let me tell you more about my campaign. Our school had a program where we met representatives from Fueladream.com who told us about a crowdfunding program which is going to help those with amputations walk again. The first thing that struck me was the idea of crowdfunding. I found it fascinating. It was also difficult for us to imagine how people live their life without a limb, as we all take that for granted. But, the idea of crowdfunding made me that I can make a change. I felt that I belonged with this campaign, and it magnetically pulled to me. The fact that a contribution of just Rs.10000 can transform the life of someone, made me realise that I must do something to help. I strongly believe that we can help those who are needy and in the process, transform their lives.  Please support my campaign and let us together bring mobility and freedom back into the lives of these people and please help spread this cause. This will help men, women, young, the elderly. It will have a ripple effect on their families. To start spreading a change, we have to start from the grassroots and work our way up, and this is what I plan to do in this campaign and future campaigns as well. My ambition is to do research in biomedical engineering, to help cure diseases like cancer, HIV, Ebola; as well as help improve the living standard of those with permanent conditions such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. I have written three research papers on the subject, which have been published in various journals. I believe my passion drives me strongly towards the cause of helping others. Helping others is something that is close to my heart, and I truly believe that we Indians are a giving, generous and helpful bunch. Nothing gives me more joy than the simple act of making someone laugh. Many thanks for your support.
