Akshaj has been selected to receive the Outstanding Youth in Philanthropy Award by Association of Fundraising Professionals – California Capital Chapter, on National Philanthropy Day.

Akshaj is an 8th grader studying in Natomas Pacific Pathways Prep Middle School in Sacramento. He has been writing since the age of 4. He published his first book Super Mouse in 2014 and since then has written 5 books – the proceeds of which are all donated to local children’s charities including Reading Partners Sacramento and Stanford Settlement.

When he’s not serving as the Sci-Tech kid’s editor for Amazing Kids magazine, writing for California Kids, or practicing the piano, Akshaj spends his time planning book, blanket, and food drives.
