FEEDBACK OF THE VOLUNTEERS:
Sriharsha Annamraju: - It has been a very
fulfilling experience for me to work for this EVG project. It gave me a
wonderful experience to spend good amount of time with kids & provide the
basic necessities to school like benches, Computers, Science kit & sports
kit which will change their perception about school and encourage them to come
to school daily. We also made them to know the how to keep the school clean
& organized. And as such it was wonderful day not just for day not just for
the children we visited but for us as well, to experience the joy of giving.
The games we played, gifts we gave and moments we shared with kids made into a
memorable day for us. We found undefined happiness in those kids faces and we
really felt satisfied when we are the reason for their happiness. I would like
to thank S&P capital IQ (McGraw-Hill Financial) for this opportunity and
proud of this organization which believes in "Giving back is
essential".
Venkata Bhargava Ram Andukuri: - I am so glad to be part
of this EVG project which is held in Tagarapuvalasa. The programs/works which
are being done under EVG are so much helpful and bringing good results. It was
a very learning experience from the project. Interacting with the kids, school
teachers, villagers and government officials makes me so confident and
satisfied about my social life. I believe things provided in project (Benches,
