Personally, it is very gratifying to watch these kids slowly transform like butterflies. I and my kids feel truly blessed to be working with this Annapoorna family. My faith and conviction grew beyond bounds with this experience and I’m inspired to start working for the Annapoorna project.

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.

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.

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
