ILP Joy of Giving Events in association with SAP


Hi All,



Below are the events planned in partnership with SAP for Joy of Giving coinciding with their annual service week:



1. Trip to Bannerghatta National Park- Oct 2


This visit to the National Park is for 60 students from our Akkiappa Garden Library. This would be their first trip to the national park and an introduction to wildlife and animals they only see in pictures. 25-30 employees from SAP are volunteering for this activity to spend an entire day with this diverse group of children. (from class I to X!). The trip is to the zoo, safari and butterfly park.


2. A day at the SAP office + Science workshop- Oct 1


50 of our Puraskara scholarship students (from classes 8, 9 and 10) will be taken around the SAP office to get an idea of what the office culture is like. They get to interact with employees and various department heads with an overview of how the office functions.


In the afternoon, there will be a science workshop held to introduce them to the workings of an aeroplane and dc motor with models that they can take home at the end of it.


This event is tentative though since the government changed their exam schedule yesterday and they now have an exam on the 1st:(. So we are still trying to work out if this can be held on another day.


Will keep you all posted!
