Group M initiative
Group M employees celebrated their worldwide CSR Day on 26th February volunteering at various NGOs. One such activity was at Vidya, an NGO which functions in the premises of IIT Mumbai in Powai.
The children from the nearby slums who attend Vidya had a blast playing football, cricket and other games ...including kabaddi....with the volunteers. Then of course the event ended with the participants enjoying snacks. The kids all received a gift and went home smiling! Here are some pics of the event. We will update you soon on what Group M volunteers did at various other NGOs shortly.
