I’m Bhargav Kuchibhotla, a senior at Panther Creek High School in Cary, NC. I am the semifinalist for 2025 Coca-Cola scholarship. I am an Eagle Scout candidate, actively working on the scouting value of service and leadership in the community. I am also a Geography enthusiast, participating in various Geography Bee and Geography Olympiad competitions at the national and international levels. My love for Geography since childhood helped me see the educational inequalities and inspired me to raise awareness and promote literacy on a global scale. I advocate for the marginalized populations, both in the USA and across the world, with education and medical campaigns by partnering with various organizations.

My name is Laura Gomez, I’m 17 years old and a junior at Panther Creek High School. I’ve been playing tennis for 13 years and competitively for 10 years. I also work as a private tennis coach and have coached at the Nike Tennis Camp in California for 2 years. I am passionate about helping kids in the tennis world and eager to take that further by being part of Project Pulse. I moved to the U.S. from Venezuela when I was 11, and growing up, I saw firsthand the struggles of poverty in my home country. That experience motivated me to contribute to helping children in Africa have a better education. I believe education is a powerful tool for breaking the cycle of poverty and for people to have the opportunity to work hard to reach any set goal. I am excited about helping kids in Africa who face similar challenges to those I’ve witnessed in my childhood.

I’m Agasthya Vangara, a student at Panther Creek High School and a track athlete. As someone of Indian origin, I’ve seen how access to education has transformed lives within my own community, where many have overcome struggles similar to those faced by children in underserved regions of Africa. I’m honored to serve on the board of Project Pulse, and work for its empowering cause. Through my work with Project Pulse, I’m dedicated to helping these students break down barriers and create opportunities for a brighter future, just as education has done for so many in my own culture.ription goes here
