VOLUNTEERS NEEDED URGENTLY TO TEACH VULNERABLE CHILDREN

Fountain Youth Group kindly request volunteers to come and teach in our education institution because we have limited resources for hiring teachers to teach at the institution which has three hundred and forty vulnerable children whose future lies in the hands of Fountain Youth Group because being a special institution the government is not offering any financial assistance to the institution so we kindly request volunteers to support the project hence children being in position to acquire free and quality education hence breaking poverty and illiteracy york. Kindly contact the group as soon as possible to to volunteer or offer adequate information on where to get volunteers or solution to this crisis. We are looking forward to hear from you. WELCOME ALL ! WELCOME TO GITHURAI! GIVE HOPE TO THE VULNERABLE CHILDREN.
A document containing more information for potential volunteers, and an application form, is attached.

Hi Josephat
To make this task visible on the Volunteer Opportunities page so more people will see it, you need to change the status to 'needs urgent help', 'just started' or 'in progress'.
I have been helping Christopher, the Local Rep of Masaka village (a Ugandan secondary school) who are also looking for volunteer teachers.
We put together a document describing the school, the kind of volunteers required, where they would live etc. We also created an application form. You may want to do the same.
The Masaka documents, which you could use as a start-point, are at
Info document: http://www.nabuur.com/files/attach/2010/08/task/Masaka%20-%20information...
Application form: http://www.nabuur.com/files/attach/2010/08/task/Masaka%20-%20application...
I also found some websites where groups can advertise their need for onsite volunteers. These are all free services. If you would like to try this, the sites I found are:
Workaway
http://www.workaway.info/information-for-hosts.html
Idealist http://www.idealist.org/
Register as an organisation, then add volunteering opportunities
Christian Volunteering http://www.christianvolunteering.org/
If orgainsation is Christian-based
Worldwide Volunteering http://www.wwv.org.uk/
Add organisation via link at http://www.wwv.org.uk/Organisations.asp?fdSectionId=1
Worldwide Helpers
http://www.worldwidehelpers.org/
Details http://www.worldwidehelpers.org/faq.html#orgs
Another site you may be interested in is Stuff Your Rucksack http://www.stuffyourrucksack.com/
This is NOT a volunteer-finding site. The aim of the site is that travellers visiting a county and wanting to help local people can find organisations who need things, and take those items with them. Any organisation can register and list the items they need.

Hi Mary,
Fountain Youth Group is grateful for the assistance and wish you the best in your work. Check a look at the photos at the talent search event. Am planning to submit application of proposal to the GIVEMEANING WEBSITE but it requires more than 100 votes for your proposal to be approved within a period of one month. Kindly can you assist me to ask all the volunteers at nabuur to visit the site and vote for the project,please respond but am sorry for mixing issues. The group has made resolution that 2011 will not be the same in our community.HAPPY NEW YEAR

Hi Josephat
It looks like it was a very successful event! Will email once I have had a chance to look at the document you sent me.
As I understand it, to raise money on GiveMeaning, you need to be linked to a Canadian organisation who can accept the money on your behalf. Unless you are already working with such an organisation, I would recommend contacting GiveMeaning to check whether this is still hte case before you start seeking votes to get a project online.
There are several other online fundraising options - I can give you details of some of them if you want. But raising money online is not easy - simply putting a project on a website will not mean that people suddenly start to donate. Many villages have tried it and the majority have raised little or no money.
As well as looking at ongoing fundraising, you may want to look at ways that your group can start to make some money e.g. by starting a small business. As you are already running skills training for young people, you may be able to use some of the equipment you have to make items you can sell as well. As well as being a source of income, its also a great way to teach practical business skills to your students.

Hi Mary,
Hope you are okay. Have managed to revise my document regarding the issues you had highlighted and look forward to hearing more about the form and assist me to upload the application form.
Kindly assist me with the list of the online fund-raising options because the Fountain Youth Group projects urgently require finance to implement the strategic plan.
The group would has started implementing self sustainable strategies like training youths on life skills then establishing social enterprises incubator then youths own enterprises hence the group will get finance to manage its project but as per now we have financial crisis to see our project moving.
Kindly check the updated volunteer application form at your email address.
Thanks in advance

Hi Josephat
Yes will try to post the info later. Apologies for not doing it sooner. I will post it under the Project Room task as its not directly related to finding volunteers.
