Feedback of the CIM Volunteers :
Praveen Kumar Kolloju (Project leader)
Taking up a GVD project gave me lot of pleasure. S&P Capital IQ provided me an opportunity to work for a social cause. Being the project leader, I not only organized the project, but myself have learnt many things and developed leadership skills. My colleagues supported a lot in making this project a successful one. Overall, it was a great experience. I would like to take up many such GVD projects in future.
An Impact made!! visiting Saraswati Sishu Mandir (Jadcherla), being a part of the GVD, and interacting with the student over there was a memorable experience in my life. The school lacked proper sanitation facilities and as a part of our project, we renovated them. We also handed over sports kits and prizes for the winners of the competitions conducted by us. It's the work that I feel good about emotionally, mentally, and physically. It has a tangibility and was rewarding. I thank the company for having given me an opportunity to be a part of this project.
I am very happy to participate as a volunteer in this CIM project. I feel that it is my responsibility to serve or help the needy. I feel proud that I have participated in one such program. It was a wonderful and joyful experience for me to spend my time with friends and school children. Thank you for giving me a chance to participate for the betterment of society.
This project has reminded me of my responsibility towards society, as the project being my first CIM project in MHFI. It was a heartful experience serving society and I am happy to be a part of this project. I really felt “Giving Back is Essential”.
I am feeling happy to be a volunteer in the GVD project. It had a wonderful time with my friends and the children. I thank each and everybody responsible for giving me a chance to be a part in this project.
I felt very happy for being a part of this corporate social responsibility activity. It was wonderful to spend time with students and advising them about their future studies. I have seen happiness on their faces on that day as they realized that there are people around to help them. I would like to participate in more projects like this.
