ABOUT JAAIKARAN CHANANA
Currently at the end of my gap year, I have combined travelling with gaining work experience across different industries that interest me including: hospitality, technology & real estate. I have also attended summits in Silicon Valley & the UK. In Fall 2024, I aim to start University in the US, aiming to combine my passion for language with business.
I believe that literature, learning, and sport are inextricably linked. One of my fundamental beliefs is that educating young people gives them a better understanding of life and helps them achieve their future goals. I believe that giving back should be a core value and principle of every single human being which they must encapsulate in their daily life. Whether it be children enjoying themselves playing sports or enjoying themselves reading, I'm filled with joy when I see individuals striving to improve themselves through any means of learning. An area I believe this is exhibited is through sport, an activity that removes all socio-economic, ethnic, and racial divides whilst also providing a creative platform for people to express themselves.
Noticing the uncertainty and fear that was created by the pandemic, I decided to spearhead the project of educating young people during the pandemic and helping care homes. Seeing and hearing the plights of many unfortunate children unnerved me which led me to dedicate time, effort, and energy to helping those in India, Ukraine & the UK through education, football & food.
