Student Volunteers

We have had an enthusiastic response from several schools in Delhi - among others, Vasant Valley, Tagore International, Modern School, American Embassy School and the British School. We hold Orientation Workshops in April and October each year.

Some of the projects undertaken by our young volunteers

  • Creating a library for MC children
  • Developing/maintaining our first website
  • Fundraising/clothes and stationery collection drives
  • Art, craft, games, math and language with the kids
  • Word processing/filing
  • From Grapevine to Action

    Veera Garg, a high school teacher at the American Embassy School (AES), learnt about Mobile Creches from her two sons studying at Vasant Valley School, model volunteers in their own right. She introduced us to the AES community: the recycling club she leads is a regular partner, the younger children visit our centres and organize small fundraisers, the teaching faculty attends our fundraising shows, and so on. Our special thanks to Veera and all of you for spreading the MC word!

"Murari, a 13-year-old boy, said to me, "Bhaiya, main padhoonga maths". A simple wish - something we take for granted. I discovered that he could do sums real quick; all he needed was a little practice... In a more fortunate setting, he would have excelled... People told me to do social service to make a difference to the lives of others. Well actually, it has changed me ... I believe that genuine social service is twice blessed, and equal. There is no giver and no taker."
