Smirti: I’m currently working at Manmohan Hospital as a volunteer from 1am to 7am. I’m experiencing many things at the same time. I’m working at the lab and at the report dispatch area and I’m glad that I am able to help the people. I’m learning techniques and technologies during this time and on my way to learn new skills.
Ganga: My 5 sisters and I went to help in packing food for the poor. We packed about 500 or more . We helped to pack rice and curry and divided among us where to distribute the food. We helped to pack food for different places . As we distribute the food among the people . They seemed so happy seeing their faces. I too felt happy. This volunteering activity takes about 5 hours and it is very dear to our hearts.
Rina: In July, my volunteer efforts were focused on contributing to the local cat center. This experience was both fulfilling and enriching, as I engaged in various activities that supported the well-being of the animals in the center.
I assisted with routine cleaning tasks at the cat center. This involved sanitizing the living spaces, ensuring that the environment remained hygienic and comfortable for the dongs.I also had the opportunity to interact with the dogs. Engaging in
playtime activities, I used toys and games to provide mental stimulation and physical exercise for the dogs.
These interactions helped the dogs to remain active and happy, and also provided them with much-needed socialization and emotional support.
Working at the center not only helped me develop practical skills but also reinforced my appreciation for the dedication and hard work involved in animal welfare. I look forward to continuing my volunteer work and further contributing to the well-being of the animals at the center.
