Hasini Ramala
Hasini is a high school student from the San Francisco Bay Area. She is passionate about community service and uplifting those around her. To make this dream a reality, Hasini started a non-profit that aims to work with other non-profit organizations in India to make education, sports, and music more accessible to students in underserved communities. She derives this inspiration from her grandmother, who was a philanthropist. Hasini is passionate about music and sings in various Western and Indian genres. Besides being a vocalist, she also plays an extremely unique Indian stringed instrument called the “Veena.” In her free time, Hasini enjoys spending time in nature, traveling, and watching Indian movies with her family on the weekends. She is passionate about advocating for teen mental health, as she has also had her fair share of struggles with mental health in the past. She aims to make a difference by destigmatizing mental health and raising awareness to help other teens navigate their struggles through positive, engaging discussions. Her segment is called TEEN TALK.
