NMT invited me to volunteer at their Malleswaram Elders Enrichment Centre when it was set up in 1999. The enrichment centre concept was new and so was the emphasis on attracting volunteers. NMT has always been ahead of its time, identifying emerging needs in eldercare, especially in the economically weaker sections, designing and implementing solutions. These go on to become models for emulation thanks to NMT's exemplary social commitment, innovative spirit and high standards of integrity. My association with NMT gives me hope that we can become a truly empathetic and compassionate society.

I have been visitng Sandhya Suraksha over the last few months and I find myself coming back regularly. The residents, all of who come extremely disturbed backgrounds, are very well cared for by the dedicated staff. From medical attention to emotional support, from recuperation to rehabilitation, no stone is left unturned to ensure the highest standard of attention and care to each and every individual. The staff go beyond 'just another job' to really looking after the residents as family. Despite the troubles that each resident has overcome, they live together as happy friends and family. Most importantly the facilities are impeccably clean and hygenic. I am grateful for having been welcomed into the Sandhya Suraksha family and look forward to participating more wholeheartedly in my personal capacity in their beautiful endeavour.
