Udhay Iyyasamy
Resident Engineer, AAW Consulting Engineers & Partners
I hail from a rural area near Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, where essential services were scarce. Thankfully, my maternal uncle’s guidance and support, along with financial and moral assistance from friends, enabled me to complete my engineering degree. Witnessing the persistent lack of amenities, especially in education, in many villages inspired me to join the Aakkam Foundation.

I have come to realize that what makes us human is our ability to have compassion, and empathy toward the whole creation. Education helps people become actualized in their own individual way. Aakkam Foundation is a testimony that every life in this world matters and we all are in this together. This is my way of doing something that makes me truly happy as I make new bonds, touch, and be touched by more lives. In a nutshell “living life to the fullest”

I feel proud to choose aakkam, especially considering the necessity of education for underprivileged children who attend government schools without having adequate resources and support. The impact we create in others’ lives is vital in our own lives. Fulfilling this sense of meaningful duty forms the stronger community for making such an impact. Choosing to be part of aakkam offers me a great privilege to align myself with giving back to society based on this responsibility.
