Pawan works closely with neurodivergent adults, including people with Down syndrome and those on the autism spectrum. He’s seen how loving and genuine this community is - and how few opportunities many have to socialise or feel included.

With the $500, he is bringing together 15–20 neurodivergent adults for a friendly game of basketball. Nothing competitive or complicated - just movement, teamwork, shared joy and a free basketball for each of them to take home at the end.
