Meet Daily Point of Light Award honoree Abhiram Talluri. 

Abhiram is PURE Youth Ambassador and Daily Points of Light Honoree

Abhiram Talluri said he never really understood the point of volunteering until his sister pushed him to give PURE Youth a try. Part of the organization People for Urban and Rural Education, the international leadership program aims to bring awareness on the impact of education through volunteer projects and fundraising. When he joined the Jacksonville, Fla., chapter, Abhiram’s entire outlook on volunteering changed, and he says he has since become a better person.

Abhiram is a part of both PURE Youth and PURE Femme, which focuses on menstrual hygiene education. Through PURE Youth, the 16-year-old designed and planned the implementation of the ‘FoFo’ project, which helps test the eyesight of children in rural India and get them the help they need if vision problems are discovered. So far, the project has been implemented in ten schools. This summer, Abhiram will also travel to Barbados with PURE Femme to distribute menstrual projects and give presentations on menstrual hygiene to schools and shelters.
