CIBA C BABU
INTERN @ EDITION ONE
MSW SCHOLAR @ TISS
I, Ciba C. Babu, from Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, am a
dedicated social volunteer and a social work graduate
from the Tata Institute of Social Sciences. My journey in
volunteering began in 2018, collaborating with various
NGOs and participating in numerous programs.

My involvement with Arise started through the pilot


Communication Internship in 2020, where I was
responsible for overseeing volunteer chapters in
Malappuram and Thiruvananthapuram. This role allowed
me to connect with many individuals, understand their
aspirations to improve society, and transform their ideas
into actionable projects. In the following year, I became
the internship mentor for six districts, which honed my
leadership skills.

My contributions to various programs at Arise increased


my visibility within the organization, eventually leading
to my role as Chief Development Officer. In this position,
I collaborated with the core team to expand the
organization's initiatives. Overall, my experience with
Arise has significantly contributed to my personal and
professional development, offering me various roles such
as facilitator, leader, and coordinator.
