Feedback of the CIM Volunteers

Venkata Narendra Kumar Napa (Project leader)

This is my first CIM program as a Leader. I had participated so various CIM projects earlier as a Volunteer. It is a good team work towards society and school students. I felt great to serve the students. I will continue doing these types of activities. Students are very much interested in participating in the games and other extracurricular activities, such as essay writing, drawing and quiz. Interactions with students have reminded me of childhood days.

B.Krishnamohan (Co-Leader)

I am very happy to volunteer for this project. I felt very gracious on spending my day with the children and making them feel happy by conducting games & distributing gifts. We also guided 9th & 10th class students for their better future and informed about which courses they should select.

Chiranjeevi Maradhala

I have gained wonderful experiences while serving the Govt high school. It is a memorable event in my life. I have participating many projects. It is really heartening to see students having good general knowledge apart from their academics.

S. Nahida Shameen (School Assistant, English)

As a teacher of this High school, I would like to appreciate each & everything you all have done, primarily the activities, such as career guidance, essay writing, drawing and quiz. You people have offered your helping hand in donating to them pens, books, and sports equipment. This will encourage the students to go forward in their academic life. I would also wish that the volunteers of S&P Capital IQ, to be generous and offer their aid in various other aspects to our school.

D. Gnayeswara Chary (School Assistant, Telugu)

This program is conducted by S&P Capital IQ. This program is very good. Now a days Goverment schools are not having the proper facilities and are not able to give competition to private schools. The S&P Capital IQ has provided much needed facilities to this school. I wish and request that S&P Capital IQ will conduct these type of activities to continuous basis.

D. Santhosha, M. Swathi, D. Varalaxmi, M. Santhosha (10th class Students)

Today we are very happy to visit brothers and sisters from S&P Capital IQ. Career guidance sessions are very good will be very useful for us.
