In the fast-paced world of cryptocurrency and blockchain, where conferences and meet-ups often dominate the calendar, one influential voice is suggesting a different path to happiness. Hitesh Malviya, known in the crypto space as hitesh.eth and founder of itsblockchain.com, recently shared a thought-provoking tweet that's resonating with many in the industry.

Malviya's post, which quotes his earlier call from July 2025, challenges the community: "Are you truly happy attending crypto conferences? Come spend time with our kids at a community school near Udaipur. Share your knowledge, play, create memories. Volunteer with us, and feel the real joy which you never get in crypto meet-ups and conferences."

This invitation isn't just a casual suggestion—it's rooted in Malviya's ongoing work with the Bhawana Foundation, a initiative focused on supporting tribal children in Rajasthan's rural areas. The foundation runs a community school in Sadri village, near Pali, about 4 km from Udaipur's outskirts, providing education, meals, and extracurricular activities to kids who might otherwise lack these opportunities.

The accompanying video in the original post features volunteers Sanjay and Vikas, a theater artist and a painting artist respectively, sharing their experiences. They describe how the program started with providing meals but evolved into daily classes in English, music, art, and theater. Volunteers like them help instill creativity, confidence, and community values in the children, many of whom come from homes without even a TV.

Sanjay explains how he guided the kids in drawing and painting, tapping into their innate talents despite limited resources. Vikas focuses on theater exercises to help children speak openly and build connections, turning strangers into a family-like group over just seven days. They both emphasize the mutual learning—volunteers gain as much from the kids' pure energy and love as they give.

Malviya, a blockchain architect and crypto educator with over a decade in the field, uses his platform to highlight this contrast. Having advised thousands on crypto investments and technologies through his blog, academy, and YouTube channel, he's no stranger to the highs of the industry. Yet, his bio simply reads "nobody," reflecting a humble, philosophical approach influenced by teachings like the Bhagavad Gita, which he often references in his posts.

The tweet has sparked positive responses from the crypto Twitter community. Users like @TinggiFitamin noted, "giving back like this hits deeper than crypto stuff," while @FaadKv expressed interest in visiting, calling it a "great initiative." Others echoed the sentiment that real connections and impact surpass conference networking.

For blockchain practitioners looking to enhance their skills and perspectives, volunteering here offers a unique angle. Imagine applying your tech knowledge to teach basic digital literacy or even blockchain concepts in simple terms to young minds. It's a chance to step away from screens and charts, engaging in hands-on activities like clay modeling or group games that foster creativity—skills that can translate back to innovative thinking in crypto projects.

Malviya's efforts with Bhawana Foundation have already made tangible impacts: over 3,600 meals served, 300 hours of teaching, distribution of clothes and shoes, healthcare camps, and sports equipment for 100 tribal kids. He's open to sponsorships for health and education, as mentioned in related posts.

If you're feeling the burnout from endless crypto events, consider this alternative. Rajasthan's beautiful landscapes, with Aravali hills and water bodies, add to the appeal. As Malviya puts it, it's about contributing your time and skills while receiving abundant love in return.
