Information about the organization in general
Sankalp proudly announces the release of monthly newspaper called "Sankalp Patrika". It is a registered newspaper which is to be published in English on a monthly basis. We wish to keep all the people interested to stay updated about work through the Newspaper.
Please find all the Newspapers starting from the December 2010 here.
One thing that Sankalp Volunteers are very proud of is the fact that we have had regular Sunday meetings since the time the organisation started. Anyone who has ever tried to join the organisation as a volunteer knows that the first thing that we ask for is to come and join the Sunday meeting. So what exactly is this meeting all about?
It is an occasion for teams to sync up
Although the Blood Donation Organisation including the Emergency Wing, Disha and Rakta Kranti make up the core working wings of Sankalp India Foundation, there are small other teams who do not face the world but provide tons of support to these core working wings. Be it the administration wing, finance wing, resources or public relations these internal teams are ina a way holding the teams tightly bound. These teams too have been busy over the last few days fixing a lot of internal issues.
This is what one of our new volunteers, Srinivas Raju had to say about his experience of working with Sankalp. For the record, Srinivas is academically the most qualified volunteer of Sankalp :). he is currently pursuing his PhD.
The annual ritual of registering voluntary blood donors from the first year and welcome the ones who choose to work with us in the capacity of a volunteer is about to take place. The 2 day process of visiting individual classes and introducing Sankalp to students of MSRIT is followed by an orientation program. The people who complete the orientation program (which lasts for about 2 months), get an opportunity to participate in Sankalp ctivities right from the very initial days of their college life.
With most of the Sankalp volunteers on vacation due to semester end holidays, only a handful of volunteers are involved in various Sankalp activities. Here is a snapshot of what happened in Sankalp over the last few days
The World Blood Donor Day is celebrated on a world-wide scale on 14th June. This time Sankalp has taken the initiative to organize a Blood Donor Week :)
The week highlights are as follows:
The Year 2009-10 was an eventful year for Sankalp India Foundation. The group of 30 individuals who call themselves Sankalp volunteers were kept very busy with the back to back activities that took place in the last year. We are happy to bring to you the yearbook of 2009-10.
The month of May was a busy one for the Sankalp volunteers. Most efforts went into getting things moving for the anniversary programme. Nevertheless, some things are always important and they have to move on. The clock ticks on, and so do the volunteers of Sankalp in their respective teams. Here is an update of what happened in the month that went by
CTC Disha
April was a busy month for the Disha team. The team started work to ensure that the online update mechanism that has been setup to ensure better inputs for other Sankalp team comes on track. The initial few sheets have been added and more is being done to provide regular accurate inputs.
