The Study Team
• The team comprising of 60 volunteers came from various disciplines. They were either college goers or young professionals who believe that ‘what we can do, we must do’ to bring about change in the lives of children
To quote one of the volunteers involved in the study
‘After the first few days, I felt so comfortable moving around in the community, there was an inner curiosity to see and know more of this unknown world that existed alongside ‘my world’. From being shocked, I gradually started wondering about how these children still managed to enjoy and stay happy’
