Empowering Young Minds Through Reading Aligned with our Corporate Social Responsibility mission, the Let’s READ project aims to nurture a love for books and reading among children who lack access to their own books. During our recent event in India each child received a set of five books, curated to match their language preferences and reading abilities. These books are not only well-written and beautifully illustrated but also relevant to local contexts. The event kicked off with a professional storytelling session, captivating the children’s attention. Our dedicated employee volunteers then distributed the books and participated in assisted reading activities, helping to ignite a passion for reading in the young participants. Our volunteers from India Ratings & Research - A Fitch Group Company engaged with 50 students from Sarawati Mandir High School Mahim, making a positive impact on the students. Ketan Ved, who volunteer, said: “The school children were eager, enthusiastic, and incredibly smart. This activity was pure fun and a great learning experience for the kids. If this initiative inspires even one child to read more and become a better individual, I would be delighted to have contributed.”
