Testimonials

Here is what a few of our volunteers had to say:
To all among the hard working staff of Sabuj Sangha,

First and foremost, I want to thank you for giving me the opportunity to work with the most wonderful people this summer. I'm talking about both the teachers and children of the prep schools.

Every time I think about it, I feel myself completely in awe of all the work you have done for the people in the Sundarbans and the rural outskirts of Kolkata. The schools are amazing - it really touches me that these children who have very little now at least have the chance of full education which will hopefully lead them to a brighter and more prosperous future.

Through making the Sabuj Sangha video I have also been extremely impressed by the level of work and commitment you have put into helping people in areas apart from education. Sabuj Sangha have made a very clear and prominent difference in peoples' lives and I am so honoured that I have had the chance to both learn about it and be a part of it.

All of you, teachers, office staff and everyone else involved in Sabuj Sangha are without a doubt among the most inspirational I have ever met. So once again, thank you for an unforgettable summer of joyous memories,

Love,

To all at Sabuj Sangha,

Thank you so much for your hospitality, kindness and warmth over the past months. I have had the most amazing time working with Sabuj Sangha and will never forget it. The children, teachers and staff will forever stay in my memory. I have also been very privileged to spend ten days volunteering and visiting you different projects in the Sundarbans. It was brilliant to see where Sabuj Sangha originated from and see the fantastic work you do in so many areas of the community. It was a very educational and inspiring visit and your hospitality was amazing. I have been majorly impressed by the work Sabuj Sangha does, so keep up the very good work. I have made some brilliant friends in Sabuj Sangha and I know I will be back to visit again.

Until we meet again.

To all the lovely folks of Sabuj Sangha,

First of all I would like to thank you all for giving us the opportunity to work alongside you all this summer. It has truly been the most unforgettable, inspiring, heart-warming, challenging and enjoyable few weeks of my life.

The work that is done by you all in Sabuj Sangha is truly amazing and impressive. The staff of Sabuj Sangha contains some of the most hardworking and awe inspiring people I have come across. I have learned so much form you all. You welcomed us to your team with open arms. We have shared some great times and we have built some amazing friendships. For that, I thank you all very much.

Working with the children in Aalor Disha has been so much fun. It has been challenging at times but the most rewarding and wonderful experience. I have enjoyed every minute of getting to know these children and thank you for giving them the opportunity to go to school and receive an education.

It is with a heavy heart that I am leaving Kolkata this week and all the special people I have been given the opportunity to get to know through Sabuj Sangha. It has been an honour and privilege.
Once again, thanks a million. The very best wishes for the future.

Love
