Satyam Vyas is a young individual who, in 2005, found himself at a university campus hearing about an opportunity to volunteer in the state of Kashmir, India. Despite the excitement of potentially exploring the Himalayas, he soon learned that the volunteer work was for relief efforts following an earthquake. Undeterred, he signed up and embarked on a journey to a remote village in Kashmir, delivering relief material in a truck and experiencing the hospitality of the village hosts. This experience would shape Satyam's passion for humanitarian work and drive him to continue making a positive impact in the world.
