Feedback of the CIM Volunteers

Ramesh Ganji (CIM Lead)

As I am born and brought up in Siripuram village and studied in that primary school. Hence, I am aware of the problems that are faced by the schools. To able to extend a helping hand to them gave me immense satisfaction, which cannot be described in words. Two years back I organized CIM program in the High school in the same village and this time it is at the primary school. Village Sarpanch and MEO extended their support and graced the event with their presence. They have guided the students how to become a successful person in life and in return asked the students to help the needy. We successfully completed the program with the co-operation of volunteers. They have actively conducted various activities such as and plantation. Once again I would like to thank the CIQ management and volunteers for their support for making the event very successful one.

I am taking this opportunity to thank everybody, who is responsible for making the CIM program a huge success. It is very unusual to go to school on a Sunday, but the response of students removed the inhibitions about their participation. The entire day was filled with fun activities with school students they are very happy to receive the prizes and sports items. Overall response of the school staff is cordial. They assured us to put those items to the best of their use. It is one of the memorable day in my life.
