Hi Karthik, In the meeting we didn't discuss on FDP. First we want to find good organizations.
I do not know whether we take up FDP or not. We have few donors for this project. Yasoda-Chandra, Divya and Prasad Charasala, if I remember correctly. I took up the responsibility of finding few good organizations, ideal enough for us to do FDP and to be ready by next meeting. I will mail the list to the group. It is for the group to decide on how we go about them. My responsibility ends in finding the genuine organization. I do not work as a volunteer for FDP until the group owns it as a group project. I do not mean to spend amount from the group fund for this project. I want volunteers dedicated for this project. I know I will end up taking the entire responsibility of FDP. People say that whosoever are interested can donate and work on the project. Donors are there anyway. Who will work? If this has to be announced in the group, "FDP is there, any one interested to come?" I am sure very few will turn up. or none if the very few who interested in FDP already accept another activity. Some members feel that FDP does not make a difference at all if we are going to serve only once in a week. If they can voice their opinion on FDP on whether they think that if it makes a difference, why not they talk on giving 10,000 rs. for a medical case, limiting ourselves to some amount only for education? I do not know why people's opinion changes differently for different projects. If we have to think deep on a project, we have to on any guideline or any project. Rules should be the same on deciding. Most of us end up giving statements. Are we thinking on the same lines when deciding or passing statements on cases/projects? I lost interest and confidence on the group as a whole. I am not interested to take up any activity, until and unless members too come up with their stand, voice their opinion and start speaking. By the way, I didn't understand your last question.
