At Samiksha, much of the work is done by volunteers. Saturdays are the days when many working people and students from colleges and schools come in and tutor our kids and spend time with them. Among some of the most dedicated in these last months have been coming in from companies like Cognizant, National Instruments, Oracle,and the Youth for Seva. Saturdays are the days when some of our own are able to take a break from the weekly routine because of these volunteers who keep the programs running. Saturdays are also the days that the moms and caregivers at the ward are able to sit around and chat and not worry about their kids,as they are busy at Samiksha.

15th march-a doctor’s Birthday
This is a special day at the Kapoor Ward. The Head of Pediatrics, Dr. Appaji, has his Birthday today.. The children are excited, so are the parents! When we were there, everyone was planning a birthday for their favorite Doctor, also their mentor and friend. Children collected Rs.20 each and got together to order a huge cake for him (even though none of them can actually eat cake on their own birthdays!) At the class they planned beautiful cards for him with drawings and poems written by them. The team at Samiksha made a special card for Dr.Appaji with wishes written in many languages.

year 2011
As we ring in the year 2011, we would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to all those who showed interest and pooled in their time and resources to support our work at the foundation. We had some interesting visitors last year from october to December 2010. Among them were volunteers from Oracle, IBM, Christ university, residents from Brigade Millenium – JP Nagar, residents from Prestige Acropolis at Diary Circle, students from the international schools of Inventure Academy, Indus International School. Families contributed to infrastructure projects that we had undertaken ( who prefer to remain anonymous). Everyone of them have made significant contributions to the cause and we are grateful to all of them. Among our team i wish to personally applaud the work of Manjari Bhatnagar, Tania Khosla, Meera Srivatsan, Padma Vishwanathan, Aditya, and our dedicated teachers Vidyavathy and Parvathi. Among the young volunteers, special thanks is due to Rohan Desai and Akash who worked with the children whenever they could.
