Shiva Kesava Prithvi Raj Akula: Being part of the CIM Organized by the Surender Kavali @ Peddamangalaram was enjoyable and meaning full for me. The program helped us to improve our team building skills and leader ship skills the way the project leaders had handled the event for being successful. I am very much pleased to inform that I had complete satisfaction and pleasure to be part of this event because we had an impact on the children for their further career guidance, skill development which we shared our views and the current market position of the education system. Volunteering the CIM program for the children was not an easy task handling a group of children having so much ambiguity but dealing with them helped us to know the skills of the children. Looking forward to be part of more such knowledge sharing events.

Suresh Kumar Ravela: Taking Part in CIM was fun and meaningful to me. It helped everyone in the team to walk along the same path and take decisions at the right time. Using our resources and our knowledge for the welfare of others will always give a great satisfaction and pleasure and this CIM at Peddamangalaram was no different at all. Volunteering was not always an easy task but it was all through a great satisfactory experience sharing your thoughts to young children and bringing smiles on their faces was a great sight. Will cherish this experience and looking forward for many more to come.
