Everyday essentials.
We plan supply drives and fundraisers to help provide food, hygiene products, and clothing where they’re needed. We also want to raise awareness of the challenges families and children face.

Good people.
Real action. A place for you.
We’re Hands of Hope, a service club started by Vista Ridge sophomores Tarak Nrusimha Dasari, Eunsung Kim, and Ayog Khatiwada. We’re bringing students together to support local homeless shelters and orphanages—and have fun making a difference.

Tarak Nrusimha Dasari
10th grade · Sophomore
I’m outgoing, energetic, and always happy to meet people. I love playing tennis, spending time with friends, and trying new things—sometimes discovering talents I didn’t know I had! I started Hands of Hope because I want to make the world a little better, even if it’s just 0.0001%. Helping others makes me happy, especially when I can look back and see that I made someone’s day better. I want to do whatever I can to help people smile.
