  • GIVING - By Anamika Majumder

    Submitted by admin on Sun, 01/05/2014 - 19:04

    My inbox was recently inundated with emails from various organizations seeking support during Giving Tuesday – a global movement that marks the beginning of the ‘giving season’ and happens on the Tuesday after the Thanksgiving holiday in the United States. It was interesting to learn that close to $20 million were raised this year on this day – almost twice that of 2012. This took me back to a topic I have often been intrigued by – “GIVING”.

    Submitted by admin on Sun, 01/27/2013 - 21:54

    I spent the first few weeks after moving back going to several villages and looking for a primary school where I could start work. Sometime in June, I had gone to the Village Panchayat office in Chandapura a few kilometers south of Electronic City on Hosur Road where the Panchayat development officer Joseph introduced me to Srinivas a resident of village Lakhsmisagar in Anekal Taluk. Srinivas took me to his village primary (elementary) school. As soon as we arrived in the village, all the children who have to sit on the floor stood up and said ‘Good Morning Miss’.
