The youth of today are the leaders of tomorrow. Forming close to 60% of the population, it is the youth of India who have the ideas, energy, and passion for a better India, and they need to realize their potential. For this purpose, the LEaders Accelerating Development (LEAD) Program of the Deshpande Foundation was born….
Thanks to our key partnerships with service oriented hospitals such as Narayana Netralaya in Bangalore. Villagers from Dodabelle are now receiving absolutely free of cost eye glasses from Narayana Netralaya, Bangalore.
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
The real joy of festivals is in the coming together of family and friends. It wasn’t any different this Holi at the JP Nagar (Bangalore) breakfast centre, which saw the congregation of volunteers and children.
In this month’s Spotlight, we feature the schools in Cluster E of our breakfast initiative.
The cluster comprises four Government Primary Schools -Dinnehosahalli GPS, Ankanagondi GPS and Hanumanthapura GPS.
Pure water is the world’s first and foremost medicine. But this nature’s elixir isn’t always available to everyone on tap. On the holy occasion of Holi, the festival of colours, team Annapoorna gifted the thousands who live in S Devaganahalli, a village located in Sidlaghatta Tehsil of Chikkaballapur district in Karnataka, with a clean drinking water plant.
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
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.
The morning nutrition is in the form of “SaiSure” nutrition supplement added to the milk, presented to the child every morning, after school prayer at the school premises.
