UWC got our students energized and motivated by facilitating the educational and fun exposure trip
Usually lots of exams happen because of which the children felt worn out. To motivate and energise the kids UWC took around 1306 students along with 42 teachers from Government Adi Dravidar Welfare Higher Secondary School, Kilambakkam, for an exposure visit to flower show at Semmozhi Poonga and exploring the wonders of Birla Planetarium. They took us to the place which the children desired, everything was perfectly planned. They even gave snacks of the best quality. The coordinators from UWC did a great job, without any issues, they were very considerate to us. And we wish the very best to the organization.Adi Dravidar Welfare Higher Secondary School, Kilambakkaml
A fulfilling experience with United Way of Chennai at the corporate volunteering tree plantation drive.
We all from Wells Fargo joined in here for the afforestation program that was organized by UWC, It was a very great day that I could spend with all my colleagues here. This Experience was very very great as this is my first time planting trees. This was a great partnership with UWC. It was a very fulfilling experience I would say, I've did the work which I’ve done in my childhood days. United Way staff went out of their ways to say how much green cover was there for our country and how each of us contributed to a lot for the society. It was a really amazing experience. This is going to be a memorable day for us. So thank you so much UWC and we look forward to do this again. Thank you United Way of Chennai for coming out with this wonderful initiative.Chennai
