Amruth Nandis created a Telementors, a virtual mentorship and tutoring program for the children of those working the frontlines. The idea originated from a conversation with his mother and uncle, who are both frontline workers. And soon enough, he created Telementors, which aims to provide educational and emotional support for children of frontline workers. They now operate for healthcare workers at Houston Methodist, Memorial Hermann and also help healthcare workers in Texas, California and even Idaho.
