The pathshala is a volunteer run organization, and parents are expected to volunteer at least twice every year on Pathshala days.
Our Food Coordinators are finding it very challenging to find the volunteers for clean up till the end, so please ensure you do your part. This would be a good way to set an example for your kids
Responsibilities of Volunteers:
Help set up, serve lunch, clean dishes, wipe dishes, put all the silverware in appropriate places, and take care of any leftover food (responsibilities to be divided among all the volunteers).
