Meherally
Centre
39 Children, 103 Deloitte Volunteers, Fun & Learning In Equal Measures |
 The visit to the Yusuf Meherally Centre was a day of interaction between the Deloitte employees and children from Hamara Club Foundation with a lot of fun and learning in store.
The event was initiated by a ceremonious ‘Adopt a child for the day', where each adult individual was appointed one child who he/she had to spend the entire day with.
This led to quick bonding between the children and the Deloitte volunteers.
 Visit to the various workshops: Oil Extraction, Pottery, Soap Making, Baking, Nursery And Vermiculture
The visit to the centre gave a wonderfull learning experience to the volunteers and the children. It provided an exposure to the manufacture of oils, soaps,manure etc. by using available  resources grown within the village thus emphasizing examples of self sustainability.
The Deloitte volunteers and the children together visited various workshops like Oil Extraction, Pottery, Soap Making, Baking, Nursery And Vermiculture and learned the techniques of each.
All Fun And More Play...
The children and adults mingled together and played games, danced and sang.
The contagious enthusiasm was visible as the children and employees played games.
