FEEDBACK OF THE VOLUNTEERS:
Rahul Rao Divakonda: What a whirlwind
weekend!! From start to finish we were an incredible TEAM, and because of our
dedication and hard work, our CIMA project was a great success. I thank MHFI, for
giving me such a wonderful opportunity to serve the society. We had a great
team and altogether we completed the project. From planting saplings to
painting the building, the entire task had shared by the volunteers and
performed all the tasks with great enthusiasm.
“Today’s
children are tomorrow’s citizen” is the truth which realized me to take up this
project. Kids over there were very happy by the amenities we have provided them
and this project obviously helps them grow better in the society for their
survival. This in turn helped me realize the social responsibilities and
boosted up my confidence levels. Last but not least, I thank S&P Capital IQ
for this wonderful Opportunity to do so.
Pragna Vupputuri: The trip to the orphanage
was a moving experience for me as well. I could see evidence of the human
condition and struggle in some. Yet, it was amazing to see the apparent open
hearts, curiosity, willingness to help and eagerness to learn of other children
and to hear about their dreams. It was fun to interact with the kids including
participating in games with Kids and also participating in white wash, donating
things which they needed. It seems that it is a very busy life for them as they
juggle school and work. It was inspiring to see them reach this level of
accomplishment and strive for a better life with meager means and support. It
was also touching to see how they embraced life and cared for each other and to
hear about their generosity despite how little they have. It was also
heartwarming to see God's signs on this trip. Thanks to all who organized this
trip and who came and helped make it a positive, good experience.
Dilip Kumar Kunduru: I am very happy to be a
part of the project. We visited destitute boy’s hostel. We had an interaction
with the boys and gave a presentation on career guidance to them.
Meanwhile we planted some plants surroundings the hostel, cleaned premises,
painted the building, donated basic requirements like utensils, bedsheets,
books, sports kit , and conducted games to them. Overall, it gave me
satisfaction. My heartfelt thanks to Management and Rahul for gave me this
opportunity.
Eswara Rao Uppuganti: I am very happy to work
with you in a team and all activities are very planned and useful for the
children. My feedback is “very excellent” in all areas of Project.
Especially, providing utensils and painting building is very good
thought. Congratulations to you for success this wonderful project. Great
project and great involvement.
Raghu Velishala: It’s really a great day, spending one whole
day with orphans and making them feel “I am not Alone in this World”, it’s
really a great feeling. We played games with them, planted saplings, Painted
the wall and had a great lunch with them like a family. The boys are so
mannered and well disciplined. The facilities provided through this project are
really helpful to them. I hope they get succeed in their lives and be happy for
ever, Thanks Rahul for a wonderful project.
Rambabu Satyavada: I would like thank to
company for giving this opportunity to serve the community as a part of CIM
Program. It gave me immense pleasure to work with our co volunteers for a good
cause which gave me a satisfaction of contributing something to the society we
live in. our project leader Rahul has coordinated very well which made it
a big success and it was fun to work with each and every person who was
involved in it. We shared very good moments with the kids through sharing
their thoughts and the games we played with them. Providing basic requirements
like utensils, bedsheets, notebooks, stoves and painting the building was
really encouraging one and gave us satisfaction. Even though involved with
physical work I dint feel stress working for such a good cause. Thanks to MHFI
for encouraging this kind of projects.
Pratibha Basike: This project gave me complete satisfaction
from all the projects which I have worked for. Especially working for under
privileged kids is good cause. Providing books, utensils, bedsheets, and
painting the hostel building was really awesome experience. I thank my company
for providing this platform to work for destitute boys and I thank project
leader Rahul for choosing this project.
Sudheer Yarlagadda: It’s really awesome to
serve the orphaned school going children from personal time. We had a great
time in painting walls, cleaning and planting the premises. Thoroughly enjoyed
the whole day in serving. Hope we do the same in the future too with the same
team spirit.
Sibananda Panigrahi : At the end of the day
when we feel completely good and a smile on our face which come directly from
our inner heart for doing something which made other to feel good. Yes, I am feeling
very good about this CIM project. I got wonderful moments to spend with many
orphan children. They really deserve our full support hand to grow, to strong,
to know, to educate; like a plant needs water to grow. I like most the
activities, which we have conducted over there like painting the wall,
plantation, game, career guidance, inspiration speech etc. I am sure this will
definitely prove a best impact of CIM project.
Jasmine Kumari: It was first CIM Project and I had very great
experience there, thanks to CIM leader (Rahul) for conducting this project. The
project agenda was nice and provided the kids with some amenities. I really
enjoyed the plantation and wall white washing with other members of the
project. I faced trouble in communicating with the kids there because of the
language issues, but it added few memorable moments in my life. I think in CIM
project only the needed things should be provided so that it can help the
targeted people to max extend. In over the entire project gave me happiness as
well created a sense of concern towards society we are living in.
Bismita Behera: It was a great experience to spend our time
with children of “Vatsalya Sindhu”. I chose this particular project because
it’s an orphanage. In this society everyone has someone or the other to lean on
in good and bad times but after seeing them I realized how hard it’s for them
as they deprive all these care and affection. But still they were so happy, disciplined,
obedient and well educated. I am really happy I joined this project to do
something for them even if it was little as compared to the hardship they are
going through. As per plan we made a few changes like planting saplings,
providing them with some necessary articles, painting walls, playing with them
and so on. I want to thank you specially as you are the person responsible to
choose that area (orphanage) and of course our company to conduct such services
towards our society. I hope I made myself useful that day for those children.
Gnana Sai Anil Kumar Koduri: The CIM project attends
by me was very good, conducted in a good way. I loved it, as we helped poor
destitute boys. We painted the building, conducted games to children & it
was a memorable day. Giving back to society, this was a very good thing &
because of CIQ I did it. From now onwards I also personally do something to the
society.
