It was a day with a difference at Kolkata Mary Ward Social Centre today. A bevy of volunteers from CITI Bank armed with paint brushes, shovel, spade etc came forward to beautify the surroundings at KMWSC. They were here to observe CITI Global Community Day and they were joined by TCS as well.
The day began with a prayer. The hard tasks were made fun…; they painted the wall, flower pots, fences around the building. A lot of trees were planted.
96 Volunteers marked the Citi GCD 2017 Volunteering Engagement – a very memorable experience. It was a day filled with fun N frolic organized at Kolkata Mary Ward Social Center
The day started with registration of volunteers and an orientation on the flow of the day and the activity planned for the day.
It was all smiles everywhere when the event kicked off with an interesting activity “Painting the walls”. Paintings by volunteers reflected the very old saying – no one can stop you from doing anything.
In another activity, fences along with corner wall of the organisation was to be painted. Volunteers’ zeal and enthusiasm was evident at the campus and simple activities turned the school ambience lively with sheer work of the volunteers.
The activity brought about the creativity in the volunteers to enable team work, build rapport to serve the purpose of spreading awareness about tree plantation by planting almost 100 saplings aside flex painting activity and paper bag making activity.
This was followed by a cleanliness drive to clear the mess created during the previous activities.
The activity concluded with sharing feedback and capturing group snap. Volunteers enjoyed the experience thoroughly.
We thank CITI Bank and TCS for their generosity….and especially I Volunteer for linking us with them.
