Holiday spirit for Atma Mumbai?
As most people know, I am a volunteer for the NGO Atma Mumbai. Since I am a very result-oriented type of person, I prefer things to happen eh well.... yesterday. This is most likely the reason why I dislike job applications so much, results take longer to achieve. Since August I have been trying to raise funds and awareness for this relatively new NGO and I finally feel satisfaction on my work.
Trough sales of pashminas and earrings I have managed to raise around 230 E. On top of that some people did not want to buy any products but donated money instead. This adds up to 100 E. I have managed to reach some people within companies, my friends know it and I even managed to promote the NGO to AIESEC people.
Sometimes I wonder why my level of satisfaction on these results is not higher. It has to do with not working in a specific project but an ongoing process. I found that also in the real world, projects with specific starting points and endings give higher levels of satisfaction and motivation to individuals. Ofcourse people in AIESEC already know this but I was surprised on the effect it had on me. I am a highly individual person with high levels of self-motivation. Even I prefer more structured formats and suitable management styles.
Getting back to Atma Mumbai, I hope the children have some holiday spirit as well. This year, 2006 was the year that the organization shaped itself and had an amazing start. The next year should even be better. I hope 2007 will make an even bigger difference for all the children involved and give them hope for a better life. Please tell your friends and acquintances about the NGO or subscribe to the newsletter.
Happy new year to all of you!!!
