Urmila
Review for VIBHA Inc., Sunnyvale, CA, USA
I have been a Vibha volunteer for more than a year now. Starting with event organization to raise funds, now I am also Project lead for the Swanirvar project. Swanirvar is a project based in West Bengal, which provides alternative education for rural children as well as includes intervention in government schools, to encourage quality education thus reducing dropouts rates. With so many non-profits catering to similar causes, it was difficult to decide which one to be a part of. In case of Vibha, it is the dedication of all volunteers, transparency in the handling of funds, open-ness to listen to new ideas is what makes it very attractive to me. As a Project lead, when I attend the calls to discuss individual project status, I realize how committed everyone is to provide a better future to the not-so-fortunate children. When I talk to the beneficiary project head, he is very grateful for the efforts & funds Vibha provides. He informs me about the change it has helped improve the lives of children receiving these funds.This motivates me further to do a better job at fund-raising. I hope that Vibha will continue with its great work, and I as a volunteer, shall help make a difference.
