Testimonials :Thanks for your contribution

It was a source of immense satisfaction and joy to associate myself as a volunteer for SMU's Melange 2015. The events were spanned across the two of the well-known NGO foundations in Delhi and Faridabad, The Ark Foundation and PrakashDeep, working for the noble cause of providing free education to the underprivileged kids of the society. Organizing the quizzes & listening to the children's views about the myriad topics from solar system to world politics did not only left me awestruck at the quality of education that they were being provided with but also helped me understand the fact why these causes are so relevant in developing societies like India.

In these kids there were potential artists, musicians, doctors, engineers and environmentally and socially aware citizens who just needed a little help in the form of infrastructure that was being provided by these responsible organizations for the cause of child development. Whether it was listening to their original poems or seeing the energy storage bicycle prototype that they developed, everything was a source of inspiration and joy just to see them flourish despite not having a very suitable social background. Be it science, math, history , geography, arts or literature, the kids had interest and knowledge on topics from all walks of life and were even enthusiastic about having discussions and debates on them.

Spending my time for these kids who were doing great despite all odds that life had to offer them was one of my best motivational experiences that would not have been possible without the concept of Melange 2015. I am thankful to SMU for letting me be a part of this inspirational volunteer opportunity. Also i am thankful and humbled by the efforts of ARK and Prakashdeep foundations working so diligently and perfectly towards providing a dream to the future of this country.

I would like to congratulate and thank SMU for taking the initiative of helping under privileged children and giving me the opportunity of being a part of this noble cause. I felt so much motivated
by the positive energy and the enthusiasm each child showed towards learning. These children were eager to learn, they were full of ideas and were knowledgeable enough to compete with outside world.

I would also like to thank ARC foundation and Prakash deep NGO for doing this wonderful job of educating under privileged children and helping in the growth of the society through different means. Their painstaking efforts have demonstrated how a locally effective model of education can make wonders. Its not money that can hold anyone, have the willingness to be great you will always find the hands to help you.

Volunteering at these organisations has injected me with enthusiasm and confidence. It gave me the opportunity to make a difference in an inclusive and positive environment, and has left a lasting impact.

It was a tremendous experience for me seeing thirst for learning in underprivileged section of our society. They were keen and enthusiastic learners. I would like to thank SMU for this great initiative, this effort fulfilled my wish of helping people and giving some children the attention they needed.


It was really great socializing with these children and making them aware of the goals they should have in life and work towards fulfilling them.  

He who opens a school door, closes a prison and this initiative by SMU was a great step towards betterment of the society.
