Review for Sphoorti Foundation, Hyderabad, , India

Rating: 4 stars  

There are many NGOs in every nook and corner of Hyderabad. Then why would anyone want to go to an extreme end of the city to see how an NGO in Hyd works or what these kids in a particular non-profit are getting to do differently? The answer is- Everything about Sphoorti is different! When you enter Sphoorti, the kids welcome you with such warmth and happiness, that you cant stop smiling. They want you to sing and dance with them. They are not interested in what you give them to eat, rather they want something to sit and study! Polite and very friendly, the kids stay in secure premises and food is nutritious and healthy, rather than being just stomach-filling! The last time I had been to Sphoorti, I had taken my brother along with me,someone who cliams to hate kids! It was unbelievable to see him smiling and playing with the kids there, some of them fighting to sit in his lap!!! Sphoorti is built on love, Hope and kindness, and runs on the basis of education and discipline, something that most other NGOs lack! Its Srivyal's academic background that brings in this value system at Sphoorti. Its undenaible that he could have done a 9-5 job and been jsut one of us, but the fact that he did not, and instead chose to work right from the grassroots level, is what makes me appreciate him deeply! All the people associated with this organization that I have come in touch with, are very very kind and are working towards builiding a good future for these children in a wholistic manner and thats what makes me want to go back to Sphoorti again and again!!

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

understanding that Education is of prime importance for these kids!

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

try to improve the facilities for trying to nurture the talents of these kids!

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

the dancing! these kids are amazing dancers!!! super talented and intelligent at the same time.

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

very kind and polite... very appreciative of the visitors and open to suggestions!

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

do great things for all the kids in Andhra Pradesh and across India.

Ways to make it better...

Sphoorti was not so far from the city

In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...

the location, the security of girls.

How frequently have you been involved with the organization?

About every six months

When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

2009

Role:  Volunteer & spent time with kids talking about shoool, sports activites and dancing; distributed books and educational CDs, etc.
