“Coding is today’s language of creativity. All our children deserve a chance to become creators instead consumers of computer science.” We thank all Cognizant Volunteers for conducting the Next Skills 360 Program in 15 Government Schools, supported by Nirmaan in Telangana. Cognizant Volunteers have contributed 110 volunteering hours through virtual sessions and also by visiting schools physically. Students are able to learn coding without using a Computer by using Next Skills 360 Kits. Our team nirmaan.org would like to express our sincere gratitude to Cognizant and its leadership for giving us the opportunity.

"I have realized that they do not need our sympathy. They just need our support" says Srilatha from the Technology Team of Nirmaan. Here is what she says about her first volunteering experience. "It was my first volunteering activity. I have visited the 'Poor Student Ashram for Orphans and Semi-Orphan' located in Miyapur, Hyderabad. The students were self-organized and disciplined. Most of the ashram maintenance activities like maintaining records, organizing meetings, etc. are taken care of by the students. The elders take tuition for the younger kids and help them in their studies. Unlike many of us, they are not wasting time with regret about what they do not have. They utilize the available resources in the best possible way, help each other and grow together in life. Isn't that the best way for a human being to live life to the fullest? I was nervous before visiting the ashram fearing that I may get emotional during the visit. But surprisingly, what I had expected to be an emotional day has turned out to be a memorable learning experience."
