Last Friday's visit of Sahasra Deepika kids to our office...

Dear Colleagues,

I would like to thank all those who contributed in various ways in supporting the visit of Sahasra Deepika children to our office last Friday. Thanks to those who volunteered their time bringing and dropping the children from/to their center, to those who showed off the neat stuff we do here at our office, to those who were with the children in the office and at lunch making them comfortable, to those who made the arrangements for their transportation and for their lunch, to those who picked up their gifts and wrapped them up nicely in gift wrappings, and to all those who contributed generously through donations.

As you can see, it took a lot of people doing a lot of different things for this simple 3-hr visit of the children to materialize. Please keep up the spirit and come forward to support our efforts in this regard through Anvas – the ARM India initiative to make a positive difference in the lives of the not-so-privileged children in our community. Together, we can make a difference!

Thank you & Best regards,

Anil Gupta

Sahasra Deepika Students field trip to ARM

Anvas (ARM social committee) organized a field trip for the kids of Sahasra Deepika an NGO. This is the very first out of campus event that ANVAS team had organized for this school. There were 30 kids in total whose age ranged from 10 to 13 years. The children were picked by couple of volunteers from their school and were transported to the office in a van. They were excited to go on a trip to an office. Which means they would now see how a real office is from inside at close quarters.

They arrived at our office at 11:30am and were taken on tour. They were quiet chilled when they were inside the office and thrilled at the fact that it was air-conditioned. They were in awe seeing the interiors, the cubicles, the chairs, so many computers with big flat screen. They were shown the server room and told that this is the heart of the entire office. They asked why it was so cold in the server room. They entered the Support room and saw where their familiar volunteers sit and work. From support room one can view the flight take-off and landing and these kids got the opportunity to see a flight land.

An ESD engineer showed them a demo of 3D modeling, flight, jet, robotic cow, car etc., We seated them in the cauvery conference room which has a seating capacity of 40. Showed them the projectors, speakers, screen, white board etc., One volunteer showed them the ARM powered products on the screen. Later the kids sang the slokas (sacred rhymes) and entertained the adults present in the room. It was lunch time and we took the kids to the ARM cafeteria. They sang a prayer song before having lunch. The employees mingled with the kids. They had nice time interacting with the adults. They played at the Gym like it was a play ground. Later each kid was handed out a gift individually wrapped and were given chocolate bars. They went back to their place around 2:15pm.
