With this service programme entering my life things have changed a lot. Now I wake up in the morning knowing that I have certain tasks, assignments to complete. ‘Jobs’ for which I don’t get paid in money, I get paid in smiles on tiny faces.

Every day as a volunteer teaches us many life lessons. While as adults, we are the ones expected to teach these children, more often than not it is they who do

Being a volunteer at Annapoorna has been a very humbling as well as inspiring experience for me. Working at the grassroots level of our society, knowing that what we do is making a difference to many lives is a very gratifying feeling

The Annapoorna Breakfast programme has given me a fantastic opportunity to make a meaningful difference to the lives of these children.The shy but friendly smiles, tiny voices praying and singing together, and little hands delicately eating the meal, help to make the entire experience completely joyful and one that I look forward.
