Raquel Mason
Founder and Director
I’m Raquel Mason , founder and director of the Akshy Association. I have been living in India since 2008 and I direct the projects on the ground with the help of both the team in Spain and in India. I wanted my life to have a true meaning, convinced that we must feel a universal responsibility within us towards others. Therefore, I left my life comfortable in Spain to pursue a dream, that of a more just world.Every achievement is a reason for happiness for me.
Enrique Tiscar
Secretary and Trustee
In 2013 I visited India on a solidarity trip organized by Akshy, I met the School in the village of Amwan. I was impressed by the great work that is done with the most disadvantaged. . Now I work as Secretary. Keeping the smiles of those girls and boys who live in the greatest poverty gives me strength to keep my commitment.

Namaste! A few years ago I was a volunteer at the Akshay Educational Center. The students gave me life lessons that they would never imagine, since then, I collaborate whenever I can in the area of Communication.
Roberto Calderón
Vocal / Technology Manager and Trustee
I have always thought that it is very rewarding to donate your time and your know-how to causes that require it. Collaborating with Akshy fills me with satisfaction because I can see how every small gesture we make from Spain makes a big difference for its beneficiaries in India.
I started by supporting the Association with the Technological part and then I decided to join the Board of Trustees as a Member.
Esther Castaño
Vocal and Trustee
Namaste! I’m Esther. I’ve always been drawn to everything Raquel did in India, whom I’ve known for years, and to Akshy NGO. It’s very rewarding to give my time and expertise to causes that need it. Collaborating with Akshy gives me great satisfaction, as I can see how every small gesture we make from Spain helps in India.
Hilary Lunn
Translator
I have always helped children in difficult situations as much as possible, but when a friend explained to me how her daughter wanted to improve the lives of the underprivileged children in Bihar, India, it seemed like a wonderful project in which I wanted to collaborate, making English translations .
Diana López
Collaborator
The best way to support a project is with what you know best. I am a user experience designer and it fills me with joy to be able to actively participate in Akshy by supporting the design of the web and all the graphic elements that are needed to introduce this small, great project to the world.
Juana Hidalgo
Collaborator
Namaste. I’m Juana. I came to Akshy from the hand of my friends Diego and Pilar. Here we discover a project that made us fall in love, we discovered the smile of the girls and boys who can go to school every day, we discovered the beautiful work that is done with the elderly and families. That’s how I got involved in sponsorship, in fairs and markets, in solidarity dinners and in weaving a dream together with other partners of Akshy and the Dalits of India.
Maribel García
Collaborator
I met Akshy for my friend Pilar, it seemed an interesting project and I became a partner. But when I traveled to India in 2013 I could see how beautiful and rewarding it is to be able to help the most needy children, women and old women.
I collaborate as a volunteer in the different events that take place.
