After volunteering for more than a year I can just say that its a blessing to be a part of it and my experience has just been so beautiful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In these times of pandemic where I had plenty of time and hardly much to do, investing myself here proved out to be one of my best decisions. Here I not only learned to utilize my time and skills in the best way possible but also to push my boundaries and explore my latent potential. From writing articles to suggesting ideas and making posters, I have done it all. The most surprising thing is that I never thought I\u2019ll be able to do these things this well, and I was able to, all thanks to Squad for Change. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The whole format has genuinely helped me become a better version of myself and learn more than I could ever think. Most importantly here I learned the actual meaning of life and the virtue of counting one&#8217;s blessings rather than the flaws in our lives, to be gentle, to be each others helping hand, to cherish each moment, to feel blessed for what all you have&#8230; the list is endless. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>A special thanks to Monika Di without whom this journey wouldn\u2019t have been possible. She\u00a0is undoubtedly one of the best mentors one can ever get. From clarifying all the doubts with the utmost patience to her dedication and commitment when it comes to working, she is really an inspiration for the whole team. Whenever there\u2019s some doubt I know that she\u2019s just a message away and yes she never forgets to revert back with solutions. Thank you Di for all your guidance, support, and help throughout. It\u2019s been a pleasure to work with you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s been a great journey and henceforth I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to Wishes and Blessings for giving me this opportunity to work as a volunteer here with such an amazing team and mentors. I indeed am happy and blessed to be a part of it and feel proud to be associated with such a noble cause. Looking forward to contributing and learning much more through this journey of mine with Squad for Change. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:right\">-Arushi, Squad for Change Volunteer<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I still remember the day when I received the call to be a part of Squad for Change and little did I know that it would be such a life-changing experience!
