My Visit to Maithri

July 6th – I cannot forget the day – when I met Mr.Sridhar of Maithri Trust. Irrespective of his odds and restrictions, he has been doing so much. I have great regards and respect for him.

I talked and discussed with him. I took a volunteering work that can be done from home, for the visually challenged students. To read out and record passages from the books given.

Seeing people who have struggled and come up successfully, opens a new perspective of Life before us. God has given me so much, definitely I have to do something utilizing whatever he has given. I have to help those who are in need. I leave his residence-cum-office with a new spark in my heart.

Volunteering

When I was in my school-college days, I wanted to do some kind of social service. But I neither had the courage to do nor the circumstances allowed me.

Once I started to work, I used to contribute financially to some poor homes. And for the past few years have been contributing to Udavum Karangal. But deep within me I wanted to help in some other way also. Due to family restrictions I was never able to do so.
But now an opportunity is has come….

I must thank my indirect friend who introduced me to i-volunteer. Few months back i-volunteer Chennai group was formed. When going through the messages, I saw about volunteer need for “Maithri” towards helping visually challenged students. The work can be done at our home, in our leisure time. So immediately I got the alert and decided to give it a GO..! And hopefully, I will be able to take up more in future.
