How the employee got involved and why

21st September is celebrated as world Alzheimers Day that was when we got to know about this NGO and we started coming to this NGO two years back. We visited their facility and appreciated the work which they are doing. We thought we become its volunteers and started spending some time with patients over there.

What work does the employee do for charity?

In our spare time we come regularly to NGO and give counseling’s, playing chess, carom board, blocks, art and crafts and talk to patients which boost their confidence.
