“If you can’t do great things, do small things with great love.”
Volunteerism is the principle of donating time and energy for the benefit of other people in the community as a social responsibility rather than for any financial reward. Volunteerism is one of the most selfless acts that we can become involved in; and through it even an individual can make a big difference.
With a service-oriented intent, 17 NSS Volunteers of Canara College, on November 13, 2023, whole-heartedly volunteered at Chethana Child Development Centre, Mangaluru. These Volunteers enthusiastically helped the workers and inmates at Chethana in preparing paper packets, and also enjoyed painting the earthen lamps. The sale of these things would help the organization churn in some income.
This altruistic act provided the NSS Volunteers with a practical experience of mingling and connecting with the special children of Chethana Child Development Centre. It also helped them learn new skills and provided them with a renewed sense of creativity, motivation and fulfillment.
The NSS Programme Officers, Mrs. Seema Prabhu S. and Mrs. M. Keerthana Bhat, too, joined in the noble cause of community service.
