“I became involved with Sparsha Trust after attending the Friends of Sparsha event in 2017, where I learned about its incredible work with neglected, abused and underprivileged children in the Bangalore area. I was moved by the whole-hearted approach Gopinath and his team take in rescuing, protecting and mentoring these children, putting them on a successful path of learning and employment. I've attended several events this year, and I've been very impressed with the dedication of the staff and even more so by the joyful and positive environment they have created for these needy children. More than 50 employees from my IBM team now regularly volunteer their time teaching children of migrant construction workers in the mobile creche near our office. Others have helped Sparsha with their digital and social presence. I have joined the Makkala Dhama Committee and have been helping Gopi and his team plan the fundraising effort to build the new center for 300 boys.”
