Volunteering at Parikrma.

What do the volunteers have to say:

Ruth Darbyshire (Student - Glasgow University): “the teachers here are very good and make me feel at home and of course the children are brilliant. In small groups they are very easy to work with.”

Fiona McQullin (Student – Glasgow University): “my experience with Parikrma so far has been great. The staff are very friendly and welcoming and the children are all warm. It takes time to settle into new things. I now have a timetable and I have a lot of fun with my class especially when we go for swimming classes together.”

Catriona Foster (Student – Glasgow University): “working at Parikrma is an extremely rewarding and fulfilling experience. All the children are lovely, so happy and friendly, and full of energy. Its wonderful when you see them working so hard and learning new things and to know that you are a part of this change.”

Yew Yoong (Indian Volunteer): “it’s a great place to not just help children learn but also to learn from them. Each day I see different sides of the children and it never gets mundane interacting with them.”

Tara Thomas (Volunteer from the US): “I just wanted to drop quick note thanking you for such a positive experience at Parikrma. My time there is truly unforgettable and after sharing my experiences with some of my friends here, I think I have even made some of them consider coming and working with Parikrma in the future. During my month of involvement at Parikrma, I had the opportunity to see the volunteer program from a number of facets. From familiarizing myself with the organization’s publicity and educational materials, participating in the volunteer experience as well as discussions with Parikrma administrative staff, volunteers, teachers, and students, I garnered an understanding of the role that volunteers play in this thriving new organization.”

Tulli (Volunteer & Child sponsor): “The KPMG Athletic Meet, last year must be one of my greatest experiences ever! I would have loved to be there this year too! But I'll surely be in the spirits and will keep my thumbs up for all the lovely Parikrma Athletes! They are the bravest children in the world and Tuuli-akka knows that they're going to succeed so so well!!!”
