It's That Time of the Year Again

By Susan Narjala | Corporate Communications Manager

In a couple weeks, U&I staff and friends are going to be putting on their running shoes and breaking a sweat at the World TCS 10K Run in Bangalore.

Our team has been busy with in-house competitions to get every staff member amped to run for a cause. Truth be told, we're not runners. Some of us are barely walkers. Some of us much prefer a cozy couch to the hard, unyielding tarmac. But all of us know how important this run is. 

This year, we're calling our campaign "Step Up" - because we're going to be putting one foot in front of the other for a much larger cause. Every donation we receive through the run is going to help an underprivileged child get a quality education.

We want to make sure kids like Rajveer get a solid foundation in academics. We want to make sure that learning is always fun for him, so he doesn't give up. We want to make sure that he challenges the statistics and beats the odds.

Rajveer is a kid with a big heart, lots of energy and a particular disdain for his times tables. That's why U&I tutor Rishiraj decided that simply reciting the tables won't work. The two played a game of cricket - with a twist. With every ball bowled, Rajveer recited one set of multiplication tables till he became a pro.

That's the kind of personalized investment we ensure at U&I. These kids don't otherwise have parents to tutor them or help them with academics. That's why we step in. 

Join us as we "step up" to be the change we want to see in our communities. We ask that you consider donating to this cause as we huff and puff our way to the finish line for the World 10K. Thanks so much!
