9 volunteers from Maharashtra engaged in a 7-day volunteer exchange program in Trivandrum

We're beyond excited to share the success of our recent collaboration with Shikshanganga Foundation (@shikshan_ganga_official) for the Kerala-Maharashtra Volunteer Exchange Program! 🤝 From November 4-10, 2023, seven passionate volunteers from Maharashtra embarked on a meaningful journey to Thiruvananthapuram, making a lasting impact while creating unforgettable memories. 🌍✨

Our journey began at Namaste Children's Home, where our volunteers brought science to life! They organized interactive science experiments and fun-filled games for 48 enthusiastic students, transforming learning into an exciting adventure. Witnessing the joy and curiosity sparked in the children was truly heartwarming! 🎉

The experience didn’t stop at academics! Our volunteers generously donated sweets and hosted engaging cultural programs for the children, spreading happiness and creating beautiful moments of connection. The laughter, enthusiasm, and camaraderie made this experience even more special. 💖

One of the most profound aspects of this exchange was our visits to Pallium India, a renowned palliative care center. Witnessing the compassionate work carried out for patients deeply moved our volunteers, leaving them with a newfound appreciation for service and empathy.

Volunteering wasn’t the only highlight! Our team took time to explore Trivandrum’s cultural and tourist attractions, blending service with fun. From historical landmarks to scenic landscapes, every moment added to the richness of the experience.

A huge thank you to Akshay Mallissery, whose unwavering dedication stood out as he traveled from Kozhikode to Trivandrum to guide and support our volunteers. His efforts ensured that every participant had a fulfilling and memorable experience.

Adding a delightful twist, our volunteers treated everyone to authentic Maharashtra-style dishes, turning mealtimes into cultural celebrations! Sharing home-cooked meals brought a sense of warmth and togetherness, making the exchange even more immersive.

A huge round of applause to all our volunteers for their dedication and to Shikshanganga Foundation for making this impactful exchange possible! Here's to many more collaborative ventures, bridging cultures, and creating waves of positive change together! 🚀🌟
