Hi Aakash. If we know of any school who need volunteers support, can we connect with you?

How do you balance the timelines for a given outcome vis a vis the playground for learning as someone learning might require more time to reach to the Final outcome

Any comments on the word immersive how do plan a yantra to make immersive / what immersion volunteers gain

Piyush,

Why should other companies do what KPMG is doing i.e. seva Vacation?

Also, if some company wants to get started, what are the first few things they should first do to get started?

Hi Piyush. Does number of beneficiaries an NGO cater with, affect your decision for selecting them. Do you think it’s an important parameter to recieve corporate support

For Aakash: How do people discover Volunteer Yatra?
Priyanka from GivingTuesday

Volunteers not showing much interest to work in un reached area. Like area complete dry, cement and mining industry area…

Because they wil not get tourism and some kind of enjoyment like tribal and green agriculture area

How we can improve

Responding to Prahalathan

The most important parameter would be to match what you have to offer with what organizations need at this moment and second would be to be selective at the beginning to create good experience before taking it to a larger scale.

@Shan what kind of volunteering activities do you wish to offer in these particular areas? Could you please elaborate?

@rahul @Aakash any insights.?

@priyankadutt
