January Volunteer Spotlight: Noopur Khachane

Noopur Khachane has only been volunteering with Hands4Hope for a little more than a year, but has already made a big impact on those in the organization.  Noopur joined the Hands4Hope leadership team in 2012 and 2013 at Leadership Camp where she developed great relationships with new people and learned skills about how to successfully run a Hands4Hope Club at her high school.

The adult leads that work with Noopur at outreaches describe her as a very hard and dedicated worker.  They say she has a great heart!

Noopur found Hands4Hope through a friend who shared with her that she was trying to get a Club started at their school, Mira Loma High School.  Since then, Noopur has become involved in the H4H Youth Board, helped with homeless outreaches, and volunteered at Green Valley Community Church (GVCC) and Twin Lakes Food Bank, to name a few.

"My favorite Hands4Hope volunteer activity is Kid's Cafe. I do it whenever I get the opportunity. It's a lot of fun to do arts and crafts with the kids," she said.

When asked what motivates her to take such an active role at Hands4Hope, Noopur said that having a younger brother has always made her interested in bettering the treatment of young children from lower income homes. 

"I hope through continued involvement in H4H that I will become better at being open-minded to other situations and having more life experience," she said. Noopur is most passionate about her family, service, and reading.  One day, she would like to make an impact on the world by helping to provide public health care.
