L’Oreal got introduced to Isha Vidhya recently. A volunteering
session ("Isha Vidhya Corporate Workshop") was organized
at L'Oreal's Mumbai office.
Approximately 60 participants which included employees of L’Oreal,
9 Isha volunteers from Mumbai, and Prachi and Tara of United Way
Mumbai came together to create learning materials for Isha Vidhya.
Everyone participated with great enthusiasm to complete approximately
850 display charts and 30 handwritten charts.
After being provided a brief introduction about Isha Vidhya, the
participants were split into two groups; the display charts group and
the handwritten group. Initially, the participants were stunned by the
behemothic task of finishing around 900 charts. Abbas, the team
leader of the display chart group motivated both the groups by taking
the microphone and announcing the completion of the charts by
either teams as and when they are done!
It turned out to be a memorable experience for everyone and an
opportunity to contribute to the rural students' learning and growth
in an hands-on manner.
We provide herewith the pictures of the event!
If you would like to organize such corporate volunteering activities
with your company, please feel free to do so, and email us at
global.giving@ishavidhya.org so that we can take it forward!
Thanks for all the support you have provided for Isha Vidhya!
