Feedback of the beneficiaries and CIM Volunteers

Volunteers:

Ahmed Ali Mohammad: Gaining good name is not important but becoming a good human is important. Every living being is leading a life on this earth, but a leading life with morale and being a role model is called living. I thank S&P Capital IQ for giving us one such opportunity. I hope that schools become such places where the moral values are imbibed in the future generation.

Naga Venkata Radhika Vankadaru: This is the first time I am attending a CIM project and before coming to the project I don’t know anything. I want to do service but how to start I don’t know. This CIM project gave me a platform to do service the community around me. This project has a clear purpose, i.e., social service, education, and development of society. We tried to fulfil the needs of students and encouraged them to achieve their goals. I am very happy to participate in this event. I was able to know a lot of things on how to do social services through this project. If more funds and volunteers are there we can do better service in this project. It’s a wonderful feeling to share about this event. I mingled well with children and enjoyed myself by conducting games.

Prameela Madala: The welcome from the children is heart rendering. We also enjoyed a lot while interacting with them. The affection showed them gifted us a memorable day. We are all thankful to our COMPANY for giving us a chance to participate in the Community Impact Month Project. The co-ordination between volunteers while conducting games, and teaching morals is just awesome. I hope these types of opportunities will be coming up more and more in the coming future.

Sandeepya Annavarapu: Firstly I was not sure whether I would be able attend this event or not, but fortunately able to. I didn’t have any high expectations, just thought that I should take part in the event and help them in various activities conducted. To my surprise and joy, the eventful event day is full of happiness. There was a lot of inborn talent in the kids. These kids are amazing and made me remember my childhood. One suggestion, is that we should plan and manage our time properly, so that the children won’t be in the school long after school hours for this event.

Tejo Latha: The CIM day has became one of the most memorable days of my life as it enabled me to serve and spend time with innocent kids, our next generation. Every citizen need to think and understand that changing the children is a far more effective way of improving educational, cultural, and moral values of a country. In this big city there are many slums, which lack proper education facilities and child marriages are also very prevalent in these areas. For being a human It’s our social responsibility to do empower them then only I think we can be called as human beings. I heart fully Thank My company S&P Capital IQ for giving this opportunity. I also thank Mr. Dhanesh who is project Leader for considering me for participating in this successful event. I request all of the employees to turn up at least one CIM project to fulfil our motto “GIVING BACK IS ESSENTIAL”

Dhanesh Khakkar: This is the fourth time that I am participating in any social activity representing S&P Capital IQ and first time as a leader of a CIM project. It was a great experience for me because I am able to learn many things, such as team management, team leading, task allotment, etc. I have also spent some valuable time with children to understand their mindset. Playing with the children freshened up my childhood memories. Overall, it was a great experience for me to lead and participate in this event. We have tried to fulfil the basic needs of a school with the available resources. We wish there would be a great future for all the children. Finally I want to thank S&P capital IQ for giving me opportunity to fulfil our aim, Giving back is Essential. I believe that giving back something to the society means trying to make a positive change towards the society. I thank all the volunteers for participating in this event and making this event a great success.
