Introduction

Hi there! This is Wipro Cares Newsletter to brief one

and all on what Wipro Cares and its volunteers have been

upto this quarter.

Wipro Cares functions two dimensionally, one via

volunteering and the other via employee engagement

events. Under volunteering, Wipro Cares provides the

Wiproites and their family members a chance to

contribute towards various social causes in sectors like

education, environment, health care and disaster

rehabilitation and make a difference in several peopleslives. While the employee engagement events are

another way of giving you all an opportunity to be at

work and still give back to the community by means of

drives like blood donation, stationary donation, joy of

giving etc.

In this issue, we cover the following locational chapters

and events as mentioned.
