Bangalore TCS WORLD 10K Success Stories |
|
Isha Vidhya supporters have been running in city marathons in Mumbai, Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad & Delhi to raise awareness and funds. 400+ supporters ran in the TCS Bengaluru 10K Run and raised over 7 million rupees that will help us provide scholarship & subsidies to more deserving children. We asked our volunteers to share about their experience of raising funds.
Sukanya Sai Satheesh, who sees raising funds for Isha Vidhya as a path for her growth, shares, “When I was registering for the TCS World 10K Run, I had only planned to create awareness about Isha Vidhya. Raising funds was not on my agenda as I felt hesitant approaching people for donations. But I created my campaign page.
The happy atmosphere that prevailed in the Isha Vidhya school that I had visited earlier motivated me to take my first step towards fundraising. Being a teacher myself, I was moved by the happiness and confidence that the children radiated in the school.
Through my campaign I wanted to help provide such a happy learning environment to many more deserving underprivileged children. Little did I expect that, as the calls and messages to my contacts went out, I would slowly be shedding many of my inhibitions and grow as a person with developed patience, perseverance and increased ability to reach out to others.” |
