Sankalp NGO provides various services to marginalized communities, including free tutoring for children in slums. The internship report describes projects conducted by Sankalp's volunteers, such as surveying slum areas ("Discover"), teaching and mentoring slum students ("Hope"), choreographing for students ("Natya"), and food donation drives ("Dost"). During the internship, tasks included managing Sankalp's social media to promote volunteer recruitment and share work, educating laborers about mask wearing, assisting with online classes and planting trees, and donating food to the poor and feeding animals. The intern learned about the importance of mass education, taking initiative to create impact, respecting all people equally
