This image illustrates a challenge most non profit organizations face. We're trying to reach out to many different directions to find volunteers and donors to support and sustain our work. There is a huge cost to this, and we're not equally good...

I posted a message on Facebook to try to recruit some help in writing a script that you can record for this presentation. We'll work on the script next week and record the following week.

Role of Network in Expanding Capacity



This graphic illustrates how non profits are all competing with each other for a limited pool of resources. Most are not as successful at getting resources as they need to be, or at keeping these for many years needed to have a social impact, such as helping a first gra… Continue

Hi Daniel,
I appreciate your time to reply my email. I visited the website which you mentioned to me in your email. I had much better understanding about this Tutor/Mentor program.
As CEO, one of the volunteer founders, you have been contribute all your life, time in building up this net work, including reply email to each member who signed in as a new member. You have gain a great respect from me.
There will be an education system and culture issues involved in building up this net work in difference countries. However, the benefit of helping student after school is obvious from what you have done. I will pay attention to your update and see what I can do in local region.
Kind Regards
Lili

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for the welcome.

I sure wouldn't mind using my skills to be of help to the youth and spreading the word round about your good works.

Plus, am using ma journalistic experience to give youth theoretical and practical understanding of the media-newspapers as a bias. I would gladly do a workshop for the youth giving them a background into journalism practice in Uganda. Plus they would gain skills on the news gathering process, interviewing skills, story crafting skills and newspaper design. Please send me an email should this be of interest to 'your' youth. We can discuss this separately via email, thxs.

Hi Daniel,
Thank you so much for your suggestion. I will see what I can do in my network.
In fact, I try to understand myself how this tutor/mentor program works. Please keep update information which would give me some idea about the program.
Kind Regards

Our plan right now is to sit down with several existing afterschool programs and ask what their needs are and then see if we can get a weekly or bi-weekly updated schedule of when they need tudors and if they need any particular subject taught (math, english, science etc.) With this information, we hope to keep a consistently updated schedule of needs that we can then take to the students on our campus.

As students, one of the hardest parts about volunteering seems to be finding out where the need is and then finding a time that will fit in between your busy class schedule. We hope to at least minimize this problem and be that connecting point for students. Our end goal is to set up long term relationships between university students and the programs in the community.

Do you think this is a good way to go about things? Any suggestions are more than welcome.

Thanks!
-Austin

Hi Daniel,
Sorry being later to response!
Briefly, I was educated in China from primary school to high school. I completed Diploma in Economics, Major in Industrial Enterprise Management in 1986. In 1990 I came to Australia study English thereafter I completed Bachelor degree in Business, Major in accounting.
I worked in accounting field for 12 years in China and continually had been working in accounting professional in Australia.
I am very interested in this Tutor/Mentor Connection. I wish I could contribute something for our next generation, especially, those who were got lost direction in their life. I haven’t involved any education program yet and wishing could start something here.
I strong believe that the quality of person become from one’s education background. It consists of family education, school education, society education, living environment and life experience.
We always talk about product quality, beautiful design, durable and convenient to use, etc. Then, what is person’s quality as a human being?
Regards
Lili
