Pole to Win India Private Limited visits Mobility India

Pole to Win: Indulgence in the Joy of Giving

It was an eventful afternoon on the 20^th of June, 2015 when a team of corporate employees from the Pole to Win India Private Limited decided to make a difference in the lives of 20 underprivileged children from the LN Nagar urban slum of Bangalore, one of Mobility India’s community project. With this being PTW’s first visit to Mobility India (MI), they were briefed about the organisation through a formal presentation and taken on a guided tour of the building to get a glimpse of the activities of MI.

With the aim of teaching the children in their own way, they invested quality time in them. They started the interactive session with an ice breaker activity. They adopted the best method that children would learn- the play way method. While the games and activities were fun, there was learning behind it all, the teaching of the spirit of team work and co-ordination. Shedding their inhibitions, the children too gave a cultural dance performance for the PTW team.

The start of the academic year is very demanding for the parents as they have to provide for the school fees, stationery and uniforms of the children. The PTW team was the guiding light to 20 children and their parents, who want nothing but education. They provided the children with school bags, books and stationery. They also provided the Community Education Centre (CEC) with sports equipment for indoor and outdoor activity. However, they did not end it with stationery; they went on to support Mobility India with monetary aid as well. They ended the day by distributing snacks to the children and celebrating the “Joy of Giving”. While celebrating with children throughout the day, they showed that, “It is not how much one gives, but how much love is put into giving”. The children too showed their gratitude with smiles and a huge chorus “Thank You” to the entire team of corporates.
