Discussions regarding the previous post....

Some discussions that may answer ur questions......

Hey,

Thanks for ur interest & ur involvement.
Pls find my answers inline. Lets get things cleared; so that whomsoever asks abt this u wud be in a position to answer.

Well..Good one.. we can completely eradicate impersonators... u know sevalaya.. they are following the same thing.. and they are doing this for 18 yrs... this cud work... I am in.

Not much idea abt sevalaya, but dont think some NGOs has followed it.
Residential school hear means; all public & gvt schools has to allot certain % for these children - say now they r 100 NGOs( for eg) the age group of children they accom diff from one NGO to another. This prj aims only for the kids above 4 yrs - meaningschools(Residential schools) has to adapt these ppl.

This wud be done by a committe formed & they r responsible for "how they can be accom"; "whether schools treat them properly with all the basic things they need; which includes conselling & mental fittness of that child" etc etc..So far i hv seen, kids admitted in these NGO have their own background; somecase its extremely worse which in turn he/she wud be distrubed mentally. So the comitte has lot of work to formulate.

yet we have practical difficulties and repercussions...(konjam peria mail..> :) ) First and foremost thing is the transparency in the utilisation of funds... most of these homes run on donations...donors will certainly need to know how their funds been utilised till the end level... but this plan is proposing an idea of channelising funds to different institutions, which may result in loss of transparency.. take this one as an eg.. This yr we tried to donate a Xerox copier to sevalaya, which was eventually refused by my friends, coz they weren't sure about the level of usability.. and we ended up providing mats and some toileteries to the children.. which means they are used by the children directly according to them and they were satisifed.. I am not telling every one will be like this.. but due to this we may lose a major section of donors....

The pt u said is correct. To be frank all doners doesnt take pain to see how the money or things they donated is utilised. Not blaming them; its just the time constraint.U hv all rites to ask them how the money is utilised and they hv to answer for that. I dont see ny issues in this. Here too transperancy is there;Also to be noted; here there is a statement saying flow of money through single channel; but never mentioned that u shd never donate personally to ny NGO( obvis if this system is implemented number of NGOs wud be reduced & number children they accom is less). NGO still exist for those who r below 4yrs. This prj is only for 4 yrs & above.

The second one is the investment thing.. I done agree with ya.. The main thing is that share market is volatile and a NGO cant afford to lose even a negligible amount, IF incase... and these money resemble stagnant economy.. we need a dynamic economy to run our institution.. Well this cud even be solved by other measures...

Seriously ; i dint get this pt of urs..:-( . Think u r speaking some high funda....Mite be u explain wat u try to say in person. Let me clear out; if i can.

Another thing is the nearly impossible task of integrating all of these homes..I dont know how far its been done.. if its done already, then it is well and good These homes are run by ppl on their self initiation... well, think abt snatching ur work which u are doing for a long time, even though for a good cause.. well.. there cud serious repercussions.. those homes might even end up starting their own schools.. this is also good, u cant deny this..

Guess, u hv misunderstood abt the implementation. Read my first few lines abt Residential schools. Also, think i hv answered this too....this is not against NGO. Ppl who involve themselves in all these kinds of work shud really be appreciated. Def those Gud souls would also welcome this. This is not a money making & selfcentered one; If more than 2 crores kids are benifited by gvt; then there wudn't be a repercussions for this.

These are only few that I know.. Well, for me, It is good.. I am in... have fwded this to some of my frnds.. awaiting responses from them as well..
Thanks for this. Pls fre to ask further doubts if u hv. 'll clear it to u the level i can...
