On 24 January 2025, 20 enthusiastic volunteers volunteered in meal preparation at our VK Hill kitchen and served food to school children in Bengaluru. Just days later, on 29 January, 25 dedicated Marvell India volunteers stepped into our Kandi kitchen in Telangana, rolling up their sleeves to contribute to our cause. Thank you, Marvell India, for not just supporting, but actively being a part of this journey. Your kindness fuels countless futures!
