The small act of service makes me happy and its also best way to start the work weekday for me. Monday morning is something which i look forward to serve these little school children.

It’s more than a year since I started volunteering here, and I can proudly say that my life’s never been better! Serving hot and healthy breakfast to these less-fortunate school children may seem like an act of giving, but in reality I have received much more from them. Their love and laughter and the satisfaction I have derived from doing the work is totally out of this world.

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

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.
