Orientation workshop for volunteers(held on 17th Feb)-feedback+pix


The Orientation workshop held at CWDR on Feb 17th was super sucessful with 8 volunteers coming together on a weekday!

Some feedback form the volunteers who attended the Induction programme- 

Anuradha:

"It is a nice idea to conduct all events at one NGO or the other. It was nice to see Prathana who is positive and motivated. It was great to see staff of CWDR and to know their activities. The group activities made the session interesting and of course the snacks made it lot more fun."

Chandra Babu

"I thought the program would be just a presentation. But contrary to my thoughts, it also a fun filled group activity based orientation program that impressed me. I really enjoyed .My perception about volunteering is that its scope is limited to only few areas.But from the program I got to know that it has huge diversity and endless.I also learnt the Do’s and Don’ts of volunteering which will be very helpful in future. I really appreciate the iVounteer group as it is associated with more NGOs and providing the right opportunity for people who are ready to volunteer in their interested areas."

Prema:

"Was a good show, the orientation made us aware to an extent what IVO does and How we can contribute to the society our great little ways.  A feeling of contentment to see like minded people who want to hold hands and make a difference to the world."

Vinod:

"Overall, it was definitely worth the effort of driving 50 kms to get there. Even though a lot of the information presented is available on the website, there is no substitute for inter-personal learning. You hear a lot more opinions and viewpoints.It was also inter-active and informal and there was no drag or boredom at any point in the programme."

You can have a look at some pictures here.

So this is for the volunteers who missed out the opportunity to attend the Orientation workshop.We would be having one again soon,will keep you posted!!
