What one piece of advice would you offer to professionals entering the CSR field?
My advice for the professionals entering the CSR field is to be empathetic. Helping others is not a job; it's a duty and a responsibility both. The iota of work is not a matter of concern but what matters is the bit you do for others.
“We can’t help everyone, but everyone can help someone,
Together we can achieve the impossible.”
