Volunteer speak

Vinod Sharma: It was a wonderful experience looking at the smiling faces of tiny tots, who were deprived of basic necessities due to family circumstances. Making them perform and participate in cultural activities and sports, not only boosted their morale but they also showcased their hidden talents. Having lunch with the schoolchildren was also a life-changing experience. The whole team participated wholeheartedly and the activities relieved them of the stress they undergo while performing their official duties.
