The youth volunteer network which recently made it to the headlines on all prime media, with the visit of the US First Lady, Michelle Obama, is back with its yearly recruitment drive.
The Mangalore Chapter of Make A Difference a.k.a MAD, will be conducting the recruitment drive on the 6th of February 2011 at St. Agnes College, Mangalore. MAD is looking for volunteers with a high level of energy and enthusiasm, as they quote, ‘Its not easy to control a class of 10–15 excited kids!’. Reasonably good English skills and 100% Commitment to the job is a must, say the members of MAD. Interested people are requested to be present at the venue on that day at 10.00am.
Interested people may contact:

What IS Make A Difference / MAD?
Make A Difference is a youth volunteer network that works with underprivileged children in India. MAD tries to empower these children with English, Computer knowledge and other necessary life skills to help them succeed in life and harness their true potential.
Right now, 800 Make A Difference volunteers teach close to 2500 kids in the Indian cities of Cochin, Pune, Mumbai, Delhi, Trivandrum, Mangalore, Bangalore, Hyderabad and Chennai.
They aim to bring about a situation where all children can select a career based on their aspirations and potential rather than on their financial situation. On completion of Std X, these children are ready to take up higher studies, funded by sponsors that MAD identifies, or take up employment with good organizations, also identified by them.
What does a volunteer do at MAD?
The volunteers will have to spend just 2 hours on weekends, helping the kids learn English and Basic Computer skills. The curriculum and teaching materials will be provided by MAD, and basic training will also be provided. So all the volunteers need to do is go out there and make the teaching session an enjoyable and enlightening one for the kids.
What are the benefits of being a volunteer?
Although there might be no monetary benefit (that’s why it’s called a voluntary organization!), the satisfaction one gets when he/she sees the face of the young kids at MAD is priceless. Like the wise ones say, there’s more to life than just money. Its sharing the joys that matter the most.
