‘CRY is a family to me.’- A Glimpse into Shubham's Journey at CRY

‘CRY is a family to me.’ Shubham’s journey at CRY has been an amazing one. CRY provided him a platform to fulfill his desires of educating the children.

Shubham joined CRY in 2013 as a volunteer. His dedication led him to become the volunteer head of the North Region.

He incorporated certain rules pertaining to strictness for the volunteers and with the application of those regulations; he made a benchmark for others to be like him. He said- ‘I don’t want others to be like me. I want them to be themselves by doing something extraordinary and creative, apart from what I have done.’ He suggested the volunteers to come up and engage children in fun activities. Doing this enhanced their morale to learn more.

Shubham’s experiences in CRY made him a responsible and optimistic person. He was able to understand the emotions of the children. As a person, CRY helped him develop in all aspects.

His work injected motivation for other volunteers to do something innovative of this kind. He believes CRY to be an ‘education centre’ for himself, where he learnt ‘life lessons.’
