Corporate Social Responsibility activity : School Kit Assembly, Magarpatta City - Pune

Amdocs conducts various CSR activities through the year - and as every year, this year too it hosted the school kit assembly event at one of its tower in Magarpatta City(over the weekend on 04th June 2016).

The school kit assembly is an initiative by Seva Sahahyog - this year they aim to assemble and deliver about 60,000 school kits to the underprivileged. Intriguing right!! 
Seva Sahahyog have been conducting the assembling event at various schools and other premises for over more than a week now. A lot of patience and courage goes in to showcase such kind of dedication for the millions of the kids out there who would be enormously benefited.
School kits delivered to these kids would change their lives in a way,we can't even imagine. In a true sense it would be a real life changer for them - a step ahead in life. :)
It is splendid how Seva Sahahyog through their contribution is touching and changing the lives of many of the youngsters. Kudos, way to go Seva Sahahyog!!:)

Coming back to the event, you will be astounded by the age groups participating - varying from kids aged three onwards to grandparents. Look at the age variance!!
The kids brought about a lot of enthusiasm which added to the vigor. :)
Applaud - for the parents, who have consciously involved their young kids to participate in this noble act. This in a way is ensuring a happy, generous and a well educated next generation - the future.

As we settled, we were made to sit in rows and were formed into groups. Then the lot of the school bags were given - which we had to inspect closely for any defects.
Next we started with wrapping up the dictionaries with plastic covers - to avoid any future damage to it. This was a true reminiscence of the school days, where before start of every academic year - all the books and notebooks were to be wrapped and name stickers must be put on. School days....bring about a lot of good memories afresh!! :) :)
We even rolled the calendars for the new academic year.
One of the crucial things explained by the Seva Sahahyog volunteers was how inspection and keeping an eye on what we were doing were integral - young kids are very delicate and have a tendency compare with the rest of the kids - if we happen to provide them with defective or blemished stuff, they would feel really downhearted.
It would be like "Mere friend ko toh achha mile, toh mujhe kyun nahin?! Mila bhi, toh bhi tuta hai ya kharab hai :("
To avoid the discontent and melancholy - it was important to do our task diligently and aptly - this would ensure a big smile on their face. We had to make our efforts count!! :)

There is a special feel good factor when you do even such small acts, which can contribute to the society in the any tiny-miny way. It is utterly gratifying.
With everyone running with time in a fast pace - from being busy at work to being busy with personal chores - these few hours that you spend here will turn out to be highly joyous.
 In addition you would also meet people from different companies, backgrounds - interact with them, make friends and perform group activities. It is exuberating!!

Do good, feel great!!

Let's all join to contribute towards the society in our own way - with whatever suits us best. :)
