Volunteer speaks...

Dear Kishor Sir, 

I want to take this opportunity to thank you for your guidance and supervision this summer(2009) during my internship experience with Satpuda foundation. Your leadership throughout the summer assisted me in further development of my leadership  and communications skills as well as my ability to implement individual projects and function as a leading contributor on various team projects within the foundation. 

The experience was more than I could have expected and allowed me the freedom to explore different ideas. I actually felt like a major contributor in different activities and I was able to work independently on issues close to my heart. Working for Satpuda foundation helped me use the knowledge I’ve acquired over last year as a volunteer as well as the skills I’ve developed during my previous experiences with other NGOs. 

I also want to thank the entire staff especially Gajanan Shanware, Neharu Yeole and Ratanji in Harisal as well as Project officer of Akot Eco Restoration project Mr. Amol Pande for taking the time to share their expertise and knowledge of the field. I am also thankful to Mr. Manish Sawankar and Mr. Vishal Bansod for taking pains in scheduling and organizing my whole intern. It was through these times that I felt I was able to learn and grow the most in developing my skills over the course of the summer. The staff was most responsive to my requests and always made me feel like a full-time member of the group. 

Please  let me know if there is any other way I could be assisting your foundation I would definitely like to volunteer again with Satpuda Foundation in future. Thank you again for my making my intern a never to forget experience.  

Regards

Abhishek Surana, B Tech., IIT Delhi
