Hi everyone!

I know it does not seem like much but, a great way to raise money is to go through schools. Children are always willing to help and get such a thrill out of tasks such as collecting sponsorships for a run e.t.c.
Not a lot of people realize this but it is a super way to bring in money as well as make children aware of their surroundings. We raised plenty of money for the Ruiru Rehabilitation center in Kenya this way, through Peponi Secondary School. I have included a short list below of just a few of the events we used to hold at both my primary school and my high school so that you can get an idea of what i am talking about:

1) Bake sales - children make home made cakes, snacks, sweets and so on, and bring them into school to sell. This can either be open to the students or to the public.

2) Fun days - the children could be put into groups. Each group could come up with a particular idea for a stall. for example, face painting, hair styling, different sports e.t.c. The aim would be to get the public to join in and have a fun day hosted by the children.

3) Sponsored runs - Children are full of energy and would love to run in a raae. Collecting sponsorships from the public would only excite them even more!

4)Art sales - Children are creative and often come up with the most original pieces you could ever imagine!

5) Concerts and school plays - Im sure the public would be willing to pay to come and see a good production done by the children on a stage.

These are just a few of my ideas but, i think they are still inmportant because they would kill tow birds with one stone. You would be raising the money that you require as well as educating the children.

I hope this is helpful.

We are new in the process and are looking for volunteers to help us connect our initiatives to persons willing to support our activities and programs to reach out to the needy orphans and vulnerable persons in our community. We are also hoping we could get a simple guide on funders who can give start up grants for our organization.

We believe in the philosophy that learning and sharing are effective measuring rods for effective partnerships and impact-fetching activities within given thematic focus. We hope we can gain this advantage, especially being served with a simple guide to developing fund catching proposals.

Thank you

The devastating flood in Pakistan had destroyed more than half of the economy of the country.The country which was already facing several other crises including terrorism,poverty,corruption,illiteracy has now hit by another challenge in the form of flood.At this crucial time ,the world has pledge to help Pakistan in any form .

U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon arrived in Pakistan on Sunday August 16 2010 to boost relief efforts as concerns grew about the 20 million people made homeless in one of the worst disasters to hit the country.

Authorities said more flood surges were coursing down the River Indus and other waterways in southern Sindh province and were expected to peak later Sunday, causing fresh deluges. The river, which in better times irrigates the crops of millions of farmers, is 15 miles (25 kilometers) wide at some points — 25 times wider than during normal monsoon seasons.

The United Nations said the rate of diarrheal disease continued to increase among survivors. Cholera, which can spread rapidly after floods and other disasters, had also been detected in the northwest, where the floods first hit more than two weeks ago.

About 1,500 people have died in the disaster and more than 7.9 million acres (3.2 million hectares) of cotton, sugar cane and wheat crops destroyed.

Before anything else, the direness of much of Pakistani life requires acknowledgement. Most of the affected areas were catastrophes long before the floods arrived: their major socio-economic indicators -- the literacy rate, school enrollment rate, and child mortality rate -- were already abysmal. The poverty in some parts of southern Punjab, for example, stood at 55 percent before the floods

In Pakistan, an estimated 3 million victims of the worst floods in 80 years are searching for hope. Hundreds of thousands have lost their homes, drinking water is filthy and contaminated, and food is scarce. One look at the devastating images of men and women walking through brown water up to their chests makes all of us feel grateful for our comfortable — and dry — homes.

This is a humanitarian crisis, and one should really not consider the nationality of the families dieing due to such a crisis. It is so unfortunate that people are considering.

.
SWO, Collaborating Partner of Pakistan Medical Association is working in effected areas of Sindh from the first day with its team of Doctors, Volunteers and Caregivers , We have already Organized our Camps in Shikarpur, Badin and Thatta Districts, we are meeting the challenges but it is a huge natural disaster, we need more help, we now urgently need following items:

1. Mosquito nets.
2. Snake Bite Injections.
3. Food stuff.
4. Tents.
5. Drinking Water.
6. Medicines.

We are looking towards International Community for their support and help. Remember, God loves those who love humanity.

"I will never forget the destruction and suffering I have witnessed today. In the past I have witnessed many natural disasters around the world, but nothing like this." - U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon

brings to you

A One-Day Fundraising Workshop

for Fundraisers and Senior NGO Staff

at Sundaram Medical Foundation Auditorium, Dr. Rangarajan Memorial Hospital, Chennai

( 9.30 - 17.00; Saturday, December 11th, 2010 )

Selling Philanthropy: What is Major Gift Fundraising and why is it relevant to my charity?

American philanthropists Bill Gates and Warren Buffett have recently established the ‘Giving Pledge’ to encourage all billionaires to pledge to give away at least half of their wealth in their lifetimes, and they have been touring Asia to encourage billionaires to do likewise in China, India and elsewhere. So philanthropy is very much on the agenda for at least some of the wealthy elite here in India; many of them are quite familiar with what happens in the US and are looking for worthwhile projects back home. But what is the response of the Indian not-for-profit sector to this great opportunity? There is concern that charities in India lack the skills and the confidence to build the right types of relationships with potential Indian philanthropists.

In this workshop, our international fundraising experts - Julian Marland and Surat Sandhu - will introduce participants to the basic principles of major gift fundraising, which has been such a success in American universities for many decades, and is now being successfully adopted in other not-for-profit sectors in many other countries. They will demystify the process of asking for large amounts of money and give participants examples of successful strategies.

About the Speakers :

Julian Marland is based in Hong Kong as Managing Director of Brakeley Asia, part of the global Brakeley network, which has its roots in the history of American major gift fundraising for Harvard and other Ivy League universities in the early 20th century. He has been a professional fundraiser for over 16 years, beginning his fundraising career with a successful £100m campaign for the British Museum. The title of the workshop is based on a letter Julian had published in The Economist newspaper in 2006, pointing out that for all the current hype about the new age of philanthropy, like most things in life, ‘Philanthropy is sold, not bought’.

Surat Sandhu is an International Development Consultant. He was the chair of SAFRG from Oct 2005 to Apr 2009. Prior to this he was the CEO of HelpAge India. He has been a consultant with OXFAM GB, UK and a senior consultant with Brakeley Fundraising & Management Consultants, London. He also serves as the Advisor/Board Member of numerous organizations and has clients in India and abroad. He is a regular speaker at national and international conferences on Fundraising.

Participation Charges : Rs. 2500 per person( inclusive of materials,lunch, refreshment & resource book)
