A school bag can carry books, but when it comes with encouragement, creativity and a little celebration, it can carry something more – the joy of learning.
As part of Sampoorna Shiksha’s Corporate Volunteering Program, we partnered with Baker Tilly One India to organise a School Bag Collection & Distribution initiative at Skoolam Trust’s Centre in Jaipur, bringing together employee volunteers and children for a day of learning, creativity and connection.
From Giving to Engaging
The initiative went beyond the distribution of school bags. 8 employee volunteers spent time with the children, engaging them through fun and interactive activities including a Connect-the-Dots activity and a Colour Competition. The children’s creativity and participation were celebrated with prizes, making the experience both meaningful and memorable.
Through the initiative, 60 beneficiaries received school bags – an essential resource to support their school journey. More importantly, the presence and participation of employee volunteers created an opportunity for children to feel encouraged, valued and connected.
When Employees Become Part of the Learning Journey
Employee volunteering creates an opportunity to move beyond donations and build meaningful human connections. Baker Tilly’s recent CSR efforts have similarly brought employees together to support children’s education through donations and creative engagement activities.
Sampoorna Shiksha sincerely thanks Baker Tilly One India for bringing their employees together for this initiative, and Skoolam Trust for supporting the activity at their Jaipur Centre. Together, we continue to create opportunities where corporate participation becomes a meaningful part of a child’s learning journey.
Because sometimes, the most meaningful impact is not just what we give, but the time, encouragement and joy we share.
