CRY Volunteers North

  Manisha Tripathi is not just an ordinary Sales Floor Customer Assistant with Marks and Spencer; her kind and benevolent aura speaks for itself. Do you remember the last time you donated the sum of money handed over to you by your favorite aunt when she paid her routine visit to your home every Diwali? Well, not all of us have that kind of heart and this is one reason why I just said that Manisha is not any ordinary person you’ll come across. It happened so that a shopper stopped by the store in South Extension, seeming a bit perplexed, unsure of what she really wanted to buy, what patterns and more importantly what sizes. It was then that Manisha came to her rescue, attending her with utmost enthusiasm and patience. Manisha made sure that the lady had checked out all the sections in the store and was able to find just the right articles she was looking for. It would be fair to say that the kind lady was on a shopping spree for she spent over Fifty Seven Thousand Rupees

How a fourteen year old boy reaches the understanding of the differences between the privileged and the underprivileged? Sanmay Moitra answers. At CRY, we welcome the participation of people from all age groups and walks of life. One such example was the two month involvement of the young Sanmay Moitra at the PAG centre in Gurgaon. A Gurgaon local, Sanmay is in 9 th standard and goes to the prestigious Delhi Public School. For him, the interest of joining CRY began at home when he was encouraged by his parents to intern at CRY. A cricket and a music enthusiast, Sanmay started volunteering during the month of May. What some may call an unconventional way to spend the summer break by a fourteen year old, Sanmay was excited for the opportunity at his disposal. He spent the two months teaching the students between 4 th and 6 th standard at a government school subjects like English and Maths. Sanmay credits this experience to the learning provided by the seniors at centre.
