Harsha : A Volunteer

Harsha Bindun, Research scholar, Department of Ecology

For some people, volunteering is about giving, but for few it is the way of living. They do not necessarily have the time but they just have a kind heart. Harsha, a young scholar of university is another volunteer with HEPSN. She is enrolled in Department of Ecology. Despite being an ecology student, she teaches English literature to the differently abled students at the Centre. She says, “ While studying back in Kerela, I used to work for orphans. Sharing hand for this cause gives me satisfaction, as I am doing something for the people who are not blessed with certain abilities”.

Harsha, however couldn't regularly come to HEPSN due to her academic work but helps the students during exam anytime. During the examination period she invites other PG students too, to help the disabled students. “ They do feel bad, when they can’t perform well because of their inability. They do perceive everything up to their imagination. When we help them it brings smile at their face. They can share their knowledge to which we ink on their answer sheets during the exams. They do possess extraordinary learning desires and are blessed with sharp mind. All what they need is little support.”, Harsha says on what the differently abled students feel.


What everyone wants form life is continuous and genuine happiness. Some get it by getting supported from others while some gets in helping others. The most useful asset of a person is not a head full of knowledge but a heart full of love, with ears open to listen and hands willing to help.
