Speak

National Volunteering Week

I really enjoyed being a part of the India@75 NVW.

The story telling workshop conducted in the school

was extremely fun while being an educative activity.

Interacting with so many children and knowing their

point of view was very interesting. Interacting with

them there made me happy.

“ “Tanya RanaThe Flush Mob

It was an enriching experience to work with specially

abled children. One can learn many things from them

like smiling even in worries. These children despite

all difficulties in life try to learn as much as they cann

and never give up. A big salute to them!!“ “
