Humanity, Personal Growth and Community Impact
Volunteering
is not just about service, it brings out the human element in any
individual, brings about a team effort for one common cause.
Volunteering is like a lifeblood for many non- profit-making
organisations and communities trying to bring about a positive change.
Volunteering helps us give back to society, but also gives us many things that can
bring about our personal growth. Teamwork helps in networking,
volunteering during weekends in an area of our choice can help us reduce
our daily work, boosts confidence and gives us a sense of
accomplishment and satisfaction. It helps us acquire new skills and
explore the hidden talent in us. It helps us do everything with a sense
of purpose and empathy.
Volunteering is more than charity and can bring the best of human connections and a shared vision for a better planet.
Volunteering
has been at the heart of the advocacy activities of Adar Poonawalla
Clean City Initiative (APCCI). Throughout the year, many volunteers from
diverse backgrounds from college students to professionals come
together for cleanliness drives at relevant locations or post major
events. The main aim is to build a community which strives for
sustainability and advocate the importance of cleanliness which has
multi fold impact on the society. Whether you are a seasoned volunteer
or a first timer, if you are interested in volunteering for cleanliness
and advocacy you can write in to ceo@adarpcleancity.com or l eadv@adarpcleancity.com
