Samara Khurana is a student in grade 11 at the American School of Bombay, where she engages with a rigorous IB-prescribed high-school curriculum. Deeply involved in questions of language, culture, and identity, she believes in the power of progressive change to ameliorate the bleak condition of our world, and the Alt+Learn project is a step in this direction. In addition to serving as a volunteer at the Acorn Foundation, where she conducted learning sessions with students from socially disadvantaged communities, she was also appointed as her school’s ambassador to facilitate the social integration of new students, where she organized school tours and participated in regular check-ins. When free from her academic and social commitments, she enjoys playing tennis, both for fun and competitively.
