“A good opportunity to use whatever skill set you possess!”
By Stacy H.
Ganga Library was very prompt in setting up my volunteer work. It was a
really great experience and I got to learn so much about Nobel laureates
that have left a big impact on today’s society. Ganga library was
really responsive and helpful. I would definitely recommend this to
anyone looking to complete community service hours for court ordered
hours or personal reasons.
Informative, inspiring, and motivating; A place for my art to call home – Kelsey Wheeler
“Volunteering as a visual artist for Ganga Library has been fulfilling, and given meaning for my art. I’ve created pieces that I would have never made without it.
I believe that the organization is an important resource to others, as I’ve found inspiration in the Nobel Laureates’ biographies for myself.
Whenever I get the chance, I love to talk about the site and the work I do! It’s been the perfect volunteer match for me, between my love for the sciences and art. Dr. Nagaveni has been incredibly supportive, especially when I can’t do work because I’m busy with classes or being sick. It’s very motivating, and I aim to always do better because of the mutual compassion. Even without face-to-face interactions, I feel like I’m doing something worthwhile, like I’m helping in some way; that’s why I continue to volunteer for her and her organization.”

I’ve had the distinct pleasure of working with Nagaveni on a few
projects at the Ganga Library. A truly inspirational professional,
Nagaveni is untiring and always gives 100% to her cause and her team.
She is ethical, respectful and driven; all qualities of a great leader.

I had the pleasure of working with Nagaveni on few projects for Ganga
Library. She is very focused and dedicated to create online non-profit
library for Nobel Laureates. Library provides free information such as
autobiography, achievements, books, publications and patents of Nobel
laureates. I am sure that access to these materials will enrich the
knowledge and scientific perspective of readers.

“Volunteering at Ganga Library taught me how to properly research using the Internet to verify the information had accuracy, authority, objectivity, and currency. It also taught me how to properly use search engines to find information when there wasn’t much information to begin with or there was too much information and I needed to narrow my searches. Overall, I learned how to research using multiple search engines for information that users can freely access, and then organizing the information in Excel.” — Jennifer Mock, Digital Sciences.
“I really enjoyed volunteering for the Ganga Library. The experience was both educational and inspiring; I learned so much about the lives of several Nobel Laureates, and could only help to feel motivated after seeing the amount of work these laureates put into their field of study. I feel very proud to contribute to this esteemed library.” Shreyas Chaudhary, High School Senior.

Ganga Library volunteering by writing a business plan has been one of
the best things that I have done in my professional life. The Ganga
Website was yet to be constructed. I had to picture the library in my
mind; that improved my capability to solve problems. I had to
investigate finance concepts that I didn’t know or that were specific to
business conditions. Ganga taught me that my work, however small it may
seem to be, can help improve access to knowledge for many people around
the world. This experience has made me believe that I can make this world a better place for everyone.

Volunteering for Ganga Library has been a great experience for me. I
have learned to balance school life and outside work. If you truly enjoy
something, it is never hard to find time for the same. Ganga has been
an eye-opener to the achievements of Nobel Laureates.

I would like to thank Ganga Library for my first e-volunteering
experience. I have been pleasantly donating my time. I feel very happy
because I have been doing something useful for you and I’m also
improving my computing skills. You know that whatever you need, you can
always count on me.

Working as a graphic artist for Ganga Library taught me how to
collaborate with other people remotely. I also learned the value of
listening to the needs of Dr. Nagaveni, the Executive Director of the
organization, and translating her needs into designs that align with the
organization’s branding and identity. My experience working for this
nonprofit has been very fulfilling given that I know that I am
contributing to inspiring others to emulate the many Nobelists featured
on Ganga Library’s website. I highly recommend the organization to
aspiring volunteers. They will surely have fun and an easy time
collaborating with Dr. Nagaveni.
