Heroes, those incredible men and women we remember with awe. We admire them, we strive to be like them, but who will dare to become them? The volunteers at U&I strive to become heroes to the kids that they teach. In lieu of the new academic year, U&I has been busy recruiting, training and planning. Every year, U&I trains more than 50 young people to provide leadership to their respective teams. This year, 55 leaders from across South India attended a two day leadership conference.The two days were dedicated to help the volunteers become better leaders. They were engaged in team building activities and vision forecasting for the upcoming academic year. U&I’s co-founder, Satish; based his leadership training based on John Maxwells five levels of leadership.
Chandan has been volunteering with U&I for the past three years. To have watched him grow as a person has been an incredible experience. He has grown into a confident and committed leader. He says that he has stayed with U&I for three years because of the children he teaches. He wants to help them fulfill their dreams and reach their full potential. When asked about the leadership conference he said, “it is the best thing that has happened to me with respect to my personality. I learn something new about myself at every U&I training. I feel encouraged and supported by my U&I family."
This academic is year is going to be the best one yet. Chandan wants the children he teaches to be self sufficient, "I want them to be able to study well and enjoy learning." U&I is extremely excited for the upcoming year. We hope to accomplish meaningful work with your help.
