Our Initiatives

Homework Buddies, volunteer 2 hours every week to educate India

Foundation has launched a long-term volunteering opportunity for employees to teach children living in difficult circumstances in partnership with the existing NGO partners from August 2009 onwards. This volunteer program is aimed at building relationships as often both our employees and the partner NGOs see their relationship in limited terms, or under the constraints of the particular program being funded.

This initiative had provided a platform for employees to interact with the children to help complete their homework with the support of one employee. Employees were requested to take charge of one week’s homework and pass the responsibility to another employee who had agreed to volunteer his/her time for the next week. This initiative is being conducted on every Friday and Saturday of the week. For More information.
