I am currently associated with MAD as a volunteer.I liked it a lot.Actually i am very much interested in teaching those small little childrens who are deprived of their rights of getting proper education or not having the way of getting it.I liked the concept of MAD a lot as they are providing an oppourtunity for these childrens to grow up & giving them an oppurtunity of becoming a stats of INDIA.I have taken many classes and taught some students,most of them are really very talented.And a lot more experience is yet to come & i know that will also be GREAT.

The Great!
  • The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were... really very cooperative.Also they are really dedicated for the sucess of these orphan students along with their individual careers.
Ways to make it better!
  • One thing I'd also say is that... such type of organisation should spread in every city and village of INDIA to make INDIA progress.Not only this but such organisation should establish in every city of the WORLD.

I have volunteered with MAD for a month, and more than anything else, it was fun sprinkled with oodles of satisfaction. Attending MAD's tuition sessions were optional for the students. But this bunch looked forward to their activities like it was playtime. The volunteers managed to teach the kids and engaged them in interactive sessions like games and songs. MAD has given these students a room for ambition at the right stage in their lives. Their volunteers know how to deal with each child and tackle their problems with ease. The children don't look up to them as teachers, but as family. I'm glad I was a part of the organisation, though for a short period.

  • The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were... more than willing to help me understand the organisation better. They have a bunch of young and lively group, which makes you want to be a part of it.
  • If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could... change the city, or even the state.
Ways to make it better!
  • If I ran this organization, I would... make it more structured. Some of the volunteers join out of an initial excitement, but realise giving is a tough job. Volunteers should be informed of the activities and strict actions should be taken when volunteers don't oblige.

I have been working with MAD (Make A Difference) for around six months now..every weekend we go to an orphanage / slum school and interact with the little curious angels there. In all association has taught me that I am not what I am because I am intelligent..I am ME because I was blessed with right education and opportunities..we need to extend the same education and opportunities to the needy kids..so that they become better than ME..Thanks MAD

  • I've seen the results of this organization in... Andheri, Mumbai
  • What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is... they all are college going youngsters or young professionals...
  • The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were... very young, bright, enthusiastic and determined to make this world a better place to live..
  • If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could... be the largest voluntary organization spreading quality education through thoroughly trained volunteers..
Ways to make it better!
  • My experience would have been better if... we get chance to reach more and more kids who need education..
  • If I ran this organization, I would... widen its horizons and try educating the kids I see selling odd things on traffic signals..
  • In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are... Support from Society..both financial and social..
  • One thing I'd also say is that... They really spend money, energy and time on recruiting and training each volunteer!

"Full many a gem of purest ray serene The dark unfathom'd caves of ocean bear: Full many a flower is born to blush unseen, And waste its sweetness on the desert air. Some village-Hampden, that with dauntless breast The little tyrant of his fields withstood, Some mute inglorious Milton here may rest, Some Cromwell, guiltless of his country's blood.", lamented Thomas Gray in his poem 'Elegy Written in A Country Churchyard'. True, lack of opportunities and exposure often nip ones talent in the bud which account for the birth of MAD. As the name suggests, 'Make A Difference'(MAD) is yet another NGO in the country which works for the same generic and rhetoric cause - 'child education'. But what makes MAD stand out from other thousands of its clones are its 'different strategies, idealistics and above all, the passion to bring about the difference 'effectively'.

I was just having a casual chat with one of the hiring volunteers from mad and I was truly amazed at their hiring criteria for MAD teachers. It was not enough if you were an expert in a field, you had to be kind and understanding with a high score in patience.. I'm inspired by MAD! I am sure MAD is making a Difference indeed!

The Great!
  • What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is... everything about it
  • The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were... A bunch of pearls strung together. The best fit for any non profit org!
  • If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could... Make a remarkable difference to the abandoned kids
Ways to make it better!
  • If I ran this organization, I would... Work more on building publicity to raise funds easily.
  • In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are... Finance to support the kids.
