Volunteer of the month

 Volunteer of the Month – Raghuraman Chandrashekar When I was in school, I had developed an interest in teaching for children from my experiences with' Very Special Arts of India'. In my college, I have co-ordinated various social activities for my club such as the Village Education Drive, wherein college students took off time from their curriculum to teach students of the nearby school. These interests coupled with my yearning to work for a social cause brought me to Dream A Dream.  In my one month stint at Dream A Dream, I have learnt a lot. My experience with the communications and fundraising team as well as discussions with the core team, have made me realize how NGO is just like another business organization which involves intense market study, fundraising strategies, revenue forecasting etc. The opportunity to be a part of the core team managing an event like Sunfeast World 10K for the organization has taught me a lot in terms of team management, resource allocation and sponsorship discussions.  I strongly believe that Dream A Dream has the potential to have a possibly greater impact in catalyzing and developing a movement to provide the country’s vulnerable children with the opportunities they deserve.
