Atlanta team of Volunteers of Voice of SAP set up a booth at Berkmar High School on April 1, 2017. These volunteers spoke among 100s of MMA members, distributed vital information about Voice of SAP through flyers, newsletters and brochures. After several question-answers and discussions, the volunteers inspired at least 40+ new volunteers from different avenues of life (business owners, academic scholars, social activists, etc.) to join Voice of SAP team.
