How can we do some work for our own society without hampering anything.

Often we think
1.How  can we  do some social work?
2.How much time we have to devote?
3.If I am donating some of my pocket money in what way that small amount will
help the poor?
4.How a voluntary organisation works?
All this questions make me travel to visit an organisation.Later  I stayed in the different centre of that NGO,I am sharing those experiences.

Value for Money:-
In this organisation no such volunteers are there who are highly paid.So you can say money saved is money earned.
Most of the residential volunteers are  mutually benefited( because they are well recognised here and a have a family bond with all children and have got there mental piece  and because of  short of funds they volunteer themselves  with small money).
Non-residential  volunteers who are  giving support such as
1. Recording cassette from class book for visually challenged
2. Reader service or giving tuition for higher classes ,some of them  are retired person from well to do family or from middle class but self motivated.
Some family giving support because one or more family member of them  are  visually or physically or mentally challenged,so they know the need of contributing service very clearly.Though the founder of the organisation  is  an employee of Railway.most of the time she will travel in normal train's ladies couch instead of Rajdhani.
Reason  she has given me that she has to  travel to Delhi for follow up of grants with limited pass.So to avoid spending extra money for her travel she travel in such manner(even I can't travel alone in this manner).Her total salary also (30,000+) used in the organisational job.Can you imagine? She has donated all her
property to grow this organisation After seeing so much dedication some well to do family donate their land also and with some grant building of voice of world grows.Her moto is "we always try to produce output as good as  rs 100 if you mange to donate rs 10.)

She made autonomous type school in remote village to rehabilitate handicapped teacher(they might have grown  from this organisation) in that teachers house or if some person had given the place to open a small school.In this school students are from SC/ST or under privileged family.Books and other facilities she will
provide.I have asked her how much minimum money you need to run this type of school ,she smilingly claimed rs 3000 per month.I was simply spell bound.I have seen in internet and other place people donate half of this  money  for a single student and if one well to do person or a team can donate rs 3000 per month
then he/she or they can claim they have sponsored a school for under privilege in a remote village and rehabilitate a handicapped teacher! If you are not believing then just visit there centre at  Nandigram,Bankura,krishnanagar .

Initially she started organisation for visually challenged only,but the condition of our society  made her to extend service to destitute,physically and mentally challenged,elderly left out people.
For visually challenged the organisation gives scholarship to those who are pursuing higher study.
Some summery about Voice of World
At Sakherbazar  student  strength is now 120 (both boys,  girls), with adequate number of trained teachers. The school building is now three storied to accommodate hostel facilities for all the students. Amongst the students more than 70% are visually handicapped, the rest are orphans or handicapped of different nature.
Voice of World  also run the other centers spreading over the districts of West Bengal including Kolkata. Apart from taking care of the Visually Challenged Children and grown ups, they have set up centers for destitute for girls, old age home cum orphanages and also vocational training centers for the visually
impaired.Their ultimate objective is to rehabilitate them in the main stream of the society so that they learn to live to work independently with dignity.
