Jeevanjyot Singh, a 27-year-old mechanical engineer from Jammu, who works as a project manager in a construction company, comes across as just another regular young man. Behind his cheerful demeanour, though, lies a tough volunteer, always willing to work for the welfare of people affected by disasters and conflicts. Whenever an opportunity to be part of humanitarian aid work presents itself, Singh grabs it, taking a without-pay leave from his job for weeks together to work as a volunteer far from his home state, helping bring relief to the people in need.
Singh recently returned home from Bangladesh after two weeks of voluntary aid work in refugee camps. Along with other volunteers, he distributed and cooked meals for hundreds of Rohingya refugees as part of the food aid camp set up by Khalsa Aid International, an international non-profit aid and relief organisation which has provided aid assistance to victims of disasters and conflict regions around the world, including in war-torn Syria.
