Feedback of Volunteers:
Sravani Gangumalla (Leader): This has been a wonderful opportunity for me. The discipline of the students is heart touching and surprising. I was motivated with the speeches of the school and village administrators. The songs and speeches evoked energised the patriot inside. I through I will try to share things that I know, but to my utter surprise I was able to learn a lot of things from the students as well. A saying from one of the speakers was “Chinni na bojja ki Sri Rama raksha”. Many people were in the same thought these days. We, the volunteers proved we are not in the list of such kind of people. I express my sincere, heartfelt thanks to one and all for making the project a success. I am sure without you we can’t make this at all.
Evelyn Roopa Rani Bathula (co-leader): It was a very good opportunity to work for a school. A convent educated student like me could sense a totally different environment. Student’s obedience and keen observation has touched me. It’s an out and out team work, which has led the project towards its goal.
Lavanya Kopparthi: I felt very happy to be part of this programme. Sharing knowledge with school children and guiding them to reach their goals is an unforgettable moment. This is the least we can do for our society. I am thankful to leaders of this project for giving me this opportunity.
Srinivasa Rao Ballada: Indian culture is one of the oldest and has a greatest heritage in the World! There is a lot of revolution in the country in many fields over the period of time and as a result of quick adaptability, the culture and practices became new dimensions in the country. However, there are few areas where still we can see our traditions and culture being practiced. One of the institutions among them is Sri Saraswathi Sisu Mandir High School, Kushaiguda in which I witnessed history of Indian heritage. I was excited with the discipline and tradition exhibited by the students, teachers, and all the members of the executive body of the school. I can say this is one of the unique programs that I have attended so far. The students are so intellectual that our career guidance session has become even more worthy. Congratulations to Sravani and Roopa for taking up and executing this project. I also thank them for giving me ample time/opportunity to serve the society.
Harish Babu Ravula: One of the most impressive things about this school is that it has an administrative body to look after students’ welfare. I believe inputs from our volunteers and guidance on career path would have opened their minds. I can notice that the school is making efforts to bring donors and improve the school. On the whole it was fruitful event organized by Sravani & Roopa. Interestingly this project allowed me bond well with Ravi, Sathish and Uday! It was delightful to be a part of such an event. I hope that we continue to support this school.
Chandrahar Biradar: It was an immense pleasure to be a part of such a CIM project. These kind of career guidance sessions will help the students to decide their goals, and choose the right career path to reach that goal. It was a great opportunity for me to talk to the school students and guide them.
