Ridhaan Desai

Ridhaan Desai is in 4th grade and goes to Phillips Brooks School in Menlo Park. Ridhaan is the youngest artist ever selected for the Hearts in San Francisco Project for Zuckerberg San Francisco general hospital with his heart named "Corona Circus" raising funds for the hospital early this year. Ridhaan loves planet earth and always wants to take action to protect it. As a part of his big dream of green earth, he started his small steps when he was 6 years old by fundraising through his art and craft to plant 304 trees. He has been volunteering at Our City Forest (OCF) non-profit organization since last year, planting trees, nursery maintenance work, lawn buster program and helping in the education center. He is also a certified tree amigo and can teach others how to plant and take care of a tree! He loves OurCityForest very much and also encourages his friends to join him! He says "If everyone on this earth planted one tree on their birthday each year for 20 years, then there will be 160 billion new trees. One person cannot do it alone, but a team of 8 billion can".
