I'm Ananth , working for Sig-Tuple Technologies Pvt.Ltd as an optics intern. I completed my M.Sc in Physics in April 2018 from SSSIHL, I was also an Inspire fellow. I have been supporting SKCT for past three months by teaching the residential students harmonium and mathematics, this is a part of my life which gives me inspiration to do more and more good to the society. They say happiness is contagious, that's what happens when I mingle with kids bubbling with joy and energy. The pace at which Chandan and Naveen are learning things to play on the harmonium keeps inspiring me to too to learn and teach them new things.

My name is Prateeksha. I am from Bangalore. I am a practising Chartered Accountant. In my life 'help' has been the most important part whether I received it or gave it. In my childhood I received it in the form of education, love, care and now that I am educated and working I wanted to give it back to the society. I have been supporting Sai Krushna Charitable Trust from April 2012 as a volunteer. SKCT is one of a kind providing various critical services like Education, health care and socio care positively impacting scores of families completely free of cost. I feel privileged to be a part of the SKCT family where do many people use their talents and skills to contribute to society effectively. There have been innumerable experiences where I have not only helped but learnt many things from various people during the course of this time, which has shaped me into a better human being.

Hi, I am Lavanya. I am working as a Finance Management Trainee at Arvind Lifestyle Brands. I pursued my MBA from SSSIHL, Anantapur campus. I always desired to bring a smile on someone's face and life up to Swami's values which seemed difficult after leaving his hallowed institute. It is said, "When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it". My dream came true when my cousin brother introduced me to Sai Krushna Charitable Trust in 2018. I teach Vedic Maths to the students. I feel content that I am the reason for someone's smile. I sincerely thank my lord Bhagwan Sri Sathya Sai Baba for giving me the opportunity to be a part in His mission. In this small way I spread His message and love that I was fortunate to receive as his student.

I am Kasa Pooja, pursuing my MBA in CMS Jain University, Bengaluru. I have worked as a fellowship scholar for Sri Sathya Sai Vidya Vahini in Sikkim for four government schools and a private school. I came to SKCT as a short term Fellowship Scholar for a period of 2 months. With the support of SKCT members and school teachers we were able to introduce various athletics and sport events, quiz competitions and food for the soul Bhajans(on Thursdays) . Also the most important Discipline incharges for each class as the discipline learnt in schools are an invaluable asset in the life of every student. The induction of all these were possible in the short period only because of the immense support of the School Management. The experience of 2 months in SKM made me take the decision of continuing my higher studies in Bengaluru so that I can volunteer regularly for school activities. After all this time SKM is my Home away from home.

Hi, I am Venkat K, currently pursuing my M.A in Economics from Sri Sathya Institute of Higher Learning and I have graduated in B.B.A from the same institute. I was with SKCT as part of my Vidhya Vahini fellowhip for three months helping the management with school activities as part of their educare project which laid a strong bonding with management and also with the school both emotionally and socially. I always believed integral education plays a vital role in one's personal growth and also in life and I see SKCT offering it with great enthusiasm not only to those who deserve but abandoned, guided by the principles of Bhagawan Baba. Helping this cause gives me great satisfaction and allows me to be a small instrument in their big mission. I remember, that was last day of the school and I know, I will not be meeting most of the kids, when there next term starts and I was walking back to SKM with another kid and then I saw so many kids running to me and giving me shake hand that I have taught them during my stay in the school and then comes this small kid of 1st standard, stands before me and give's the shake hand and says in kannada, 'Anna, I am not coming to school from tomorrow and I heard that you will not be there by the time I come to school for my 2nd standard, can you shake hand once again' he say's, 'thank you for coming and teaching me'. I have never been in that situation before and that moment, I felt a sense of satisfaction for being there for three months and the smile on the kid's face told me, it's all worth Venkat, it's all worth.

I'm Lalitha Rajamani, a retired teacher, from DBMS,English School,Jamshedpur. My husband, Sri C.R.Rajamani and I have been supporting Sai Krushna Mandir for the last 5 years as volunteers. With Swami's blessings, we embarked on this journey back in 2011,and helped in overseeing the construction of Sai Krushna Mandir. I have contributed to the SKM children's education and well being by teaching them Mathematics and a couple of other subjects .I get immense joy when I spend time with the little children and see them growing up into smart and intelligent young boys. Teaching them also helps me keep my mind sharp and stay updated with the latest curriculum. When I return from a trip or even a local outing,the boys come running to greet me as "Doddamma" and help me with the luggage. I feel truly blessed that I'm associated with the goodness and kindness that permeates across Sai Krushna Mandir.

Hi, We are Mr. and Mrs. Pillay, born and brought up in South Africa. We had a career as educators and pursued it for more than 3 decades in various countries like Australia and New Zealand.We are also humble recipients of various national and international awards in the education sector. In pursuit of our association with Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai, we got to know of the sincere efforts being put in by the Sai Krushna Trust for the betterment of the society. It was an absolute heart warming experience to be involved with the teachers, trust members, volunteers and children of Sai Krushna Vidya Mandir. In SKCT we involve in various levels of teaching the students from classroom teaching to personal assistance. Each time we volunteer we experience deep love and care from the children and staff.

I am Anand. I am a Business Associate with the Research and Benchmarking Team at KPMG Global Services, Bengaluru. It was July, 2018 when I was first ever exposed to the work done at SKM. Since then, I visit and help the students with their English and Communication skills. It is not just about me imparting knowledge and skills to the young minds; the volunteering helps me to stay rooted to the principle often taught by Bhagawan to His students – “Be Simple and Sincere”. Every time, when I am about to return from SKM, the way the children ask me longingly when would I be back, that is the most gratifying moment to me and I too look forward to seeing their brimming faces.

We got to know about SKCT and chose to volunteer as Hindi teachers. In the initial days we were nervous, but now when we see the improvemrnt in children, it gives us immense satisfaction and pride that we are contributing meaningfully to the lives of so many children.
