Employees of Wells Fargo Enterprise Global Services (EGS) successfully completed its fourth annual volunteering month in Hyderabad, Bengaluru and Chennai recently.
As part of the event, 2,150 employees partnered with non-government charitable institutions to contribute around 12,000 hours of service to positively impact their communities.
Throughout the month, the employees supported causes like community development, education and environment. Whether it was a conversation to build a career, a helping hand for a community kitchen, or supporting education for children, volunteers took part in projects to improve their local communities.
Volunteers across the city planted 2,500 saplings, recorded 150 audio books for blind students, conducted camps like eye screening, career orientation for youth, collection and distribution of food to homeless people.
“It was a wonderful experience to be with kids. The unconditional love I experienced was just unmatchable,” said Vijay Ravuri, who volunteered to teach at a school in Hyderabad.
“It was a great experience to contribute towards cleaning the Kowdenahalli Lake precincts. I would love to go back and do much more,” said Lina Nair, who took part in a project to clean this natural resource and improve the environment.
Speaking about the initiative, Head of Corporate Sustainability for EGS, Vishnupriya Saksena said, “We believe that working together and contributing in small ways collectively makes a big difference to the communities we are part of.”
