Just 2.5 hours to change a kid's life - volunteering opportunity @cbe
Hey guys,
I'm 18/F.
Recently I have been seeing few post regarding volunteering opportunities in Coimbatore.
And one such NGO that gives you that opportunity is U & I - it's a organization across India, you could literally volunteer anywhere, they have so many centres
I'm a volunteer at U & I, coimbatore.
So i just wanted to share my experience -
While I was kid, just like most of us think , I grew up thinking
"When I grow up, i must make an impact in the society by teaching kids and supporting the unprivileged"
And I think U & I have paved a way for me. I joined in as a volunteer there, just spending 2.5-3 hours per week one day just to sit with that kid 1:1 and teach them.
I have always wanted to be that one big sister/ mentor whom kids can look upto.
We teach kids English basics(foundation literacy) and also tuition subjects. You know those kids aren't really exposed to real world and the certainly lack to know many things. But when you show up every week there, you can literally see the kid grow right infront of your eyes and I think that's the best thing one can ever do.
And the community, co- volunteers are so warm, helpful and once you be a part of it, you wouldn't want come out of it.
So if you read this post, and looking for such opportunities, I think this is your sign. If you have doubts regarding this, you can DM.
and I think this would be a great fit for youths especially college students who is looking to do something productive and meaningful during their weekends. and also corporates who does WFH or even free during weekends just to chill out, have a social gathering and doing something meaningful!!
