There is a great reward in volunteering. First, we need to shift from programs to movements. Programs are limited in scope and scale – it’s volunteering for-season rather than for-reason. By shifting to social movements, there is room for exponential growth which delivers real change and impact in communities and we will come to realize that even as strangers we can be connected by a simple act of kindness in the form of volunteering. It is a powerful, dynamic and a valuable reward. A casual visit by Sreesha to our CMNR Centre resulted in him offering his services to mentor and volunteer Shamvel, whose mother works as a tailor, is now a beneficiary of this visit.
