Our Village Our Responsibility team gets a shout out. The library was setup in our CFS Mugappair Corporation Primary School . Very happy and Thank you to GEMS Modern Academy.
"Pages of Joy" is a heartwarming, philanthropic initiative by 4 students of 8H: Vrishank Sai Anand, Nehal Yohan Ranjith, Ishaan Balasubramanian and Samarth Jaswani. With the support of their partners and supporters, they collected 6500 books and successfully brought to life a library in a government school in suburban Chennai during the first week of August '23. They made sure at least one of them visited the school, unboxed the books and handed them over to the kids in the presence of their principal.
