School children from the city proved that there is no yardstick to volunteerism. Three girls celebrate special occasions with the less privileged and have also begun other social initiatives. At the age of 13, Nikhiya Shamsher of Greenwood High School is registering her own NGO, Women have the Same Set of Teeth as Men, to promote women and child education. She wants to encourage women to take up science and maths to the underprivileged whenever she is free. It began when she donated her old school bags to her maid’s children. This motivated her to start bags, books and blessings. She designed a few posters and put them up at school. With her Principal’s help, she reached out to parents, asking them to donate bags, books and stationeries for the underprivileged children at Parikrama Centre for Learning and Angels Orphanage.
