June 21st, 2014, has been one of the most astonishing days in my journey at S&P CIQ. It’s not just about volunteering, it’s a learning experience. Visiting the school in a remote area, interaction with students and teachers, and understanding their education system was a good learning experience. Students’ involvement in sports and games were the best moment of the day for me. Sincere Thanks to Annu Singh for making me part of this project. I am also grateful to Ramesh and all the volunteers for their contribution and involvement, which made my day more fascinating.

Sampat Kumar Putireddi

I am very fortunate to be associated with these CIM projects. It is said that utilizing opportunity is more important than getting an opportunity. The CIM project we have attended in Nelaptala high school gave me a great learning experience. It’s been a complete joyful day for me by getting involved in various activities conducted in the school, especially those with the involvement of students. It’s a completely different atmosphere in the rural areas, which I visit rarely visit due to my hectic city life. The slogan ‘Giving Back is essential’ has been justified as students reciprocated with a memorable day in turn to the service we have provided them. I would like to thank all the volunteers for their presence and making the GVD a successful one. Team leader Annu Singh’s efforts are commendable in this project. She has shown a lot of team spirit while leading the project to its destined successful ending. Hope we will meet in more GVD programs in future.

Mohan Rao Kalla

In 2014, we again got opportunity to conduct CIM programs. First of all, I am very much thankful to the CIQ for restarting this program. By serving the community I get a sense of responsibility towards society that I hope will be fulfilled future through these projects. By engaging in such type of programs we got the chance to interact with school children and with the school staff and get to know the problems faced by them to run the school. It is a small helping hand we are giving them for which they are very much grateful to us. I would like to thank Ms. Annu Singh for taking this project and making it a successful.
