“It gives me a motivation or reason bigger than myself. Changes have a ripple effect and all the small good things add up and change the society/community in a way that is not easy to see sometimes. It feels amazing to know that you have helped someone’s life even if it in a small way”

“Volunteering is important because I can see how fortunate I have been to have gone to Shanti Bhavan. By volunteering, I can be the Shanti Bhavan that these children will never have. By imparting the knowledge I received, I’ll be leveling the playing field.”

“The more I see, experience the world, and meet more people, the more I realize just how much Dr. George and Shanti Bhavan have changed my life. While I don’t think I will be able to do what Shanti Bhavan has done for me, I want to be able to do what I can.”

“I have always wanted to give back. Even in school, I used to teach kids when I went back for holidays. I understand how much impact I can make in their lives. I have the weekends off so this gives me enough time to volunteer in schools.”

David
