Hi Prasanthi/Chaitanya,
You are very much right that we can't stop our activities due to lack
of volunteers. We have to continue doing what we are doing. However, I was
addressing the issue of how do we take care of the issue of "we do not have
enough volunteers"? I wanted to see if we can have a way of generating
sufficient number of volunteers all the time? Think about it ... its going
to ease up the load on the on-field volunteers.
Suresh,
Your thoughts are crisp and clear here. The suggestions you have offered
are very simple. The off-field team needs to get into the actual brasstacks
of implementation here. There should be a parallel thread regarding this.
I'll kick it off.
Thanks!
Karthik

Coming to how* WE* ( the volunteers off the field ) can help , a look at
1) Build NGO database
2) Build Volunteer database
3) Spread the word about our activities and motivate others
4) Organize fund raisers or awareness campaigns
5) Take responsibility for all the administrative related works
6) think about how Information Technology can made accessible to the
poorest of the poor and take up or support such projects.
7) There is a great potential in the internet , utilize it to build
friends, groups , networks
*WE *need to deliver more , *WE* need to do more and why , because we are
capable of doing it so.
cheers
