This past Wednesday, I had the pleasure to meet with Aditi and her challenge group. While attending their meeting at the RPAC, I learned about the non profit that they all wanted to start which entailed them trying to get girls ages 10-15 from Ecuador, Kenya, and India to get into an educational program or school in the area with their pilot program. (See attached plan that shows more about their club).
I was eager to learn more about the non profit and I also learned a lot about what goes into trying to establish one. My first question: What is the name of the non-profit? I was met with silence. How interesting is this I thought? So much work and effort but no name for the organization! How fascinating to start something truly from scratch I thought. Aside from the name, I non-creepily watched he group in action talking about steps and contacts that are necessary for the establishment of the org. Email lists, applications fro grants, and many other references were their main targets at this point in the game. It was nice to see a different setting away from my organizations and see other passionate individuals do amazing things with their cohesive determinations. So I took a picture, non-creepily again, of these girls in action during the meeting!
