Confluence of Ideas and Process,
Some were in June 2012 I attended a workshop called Techprenuers…
During the work shop each participant was asked come with an idea and a model
to implement it. Now it was the right time to think of action plan which I can
do at my level towards UN MDGS. I proposed a social enterprise Model for people
to get involved in UN MDGS. The concept is to have a platform for all those who
want to something good to the society in general …MDGs in Particular. After 3
days of Preparation I made a basic presentation on the fourth day and found
that if was well received and in fact some the attendees of the works shop
wanted to get involved the in project
Ideas is fine...what about action,
With this idea I had meeting with Mr. Balsunder who is my
friend and mentor for all good causes and after few hours of discussion we came
out with a name UniGloW (Uniting Initiators for Glorious World).Now we wanted
make the first pilot implementations. We had small core group meeting with some
youth who already involved in some environmental activities with us and then we
formed sub teams.
Enterprising Project Support in Leicester ,
Mean while there was a great support at University of Leicester
for student who has an idea and wish to take forward. I discussed my Ideas with
Rajinder at Career and followed by that I was suggested to attend the Bootstrap
camp. The camp was three full days of workshops which conveyed everything we wanted
to know about. Now I was even more clear and was ready to take up the project
to a next level and with further action Plans I had few more guidance on action
plans started putting my thought in to actions and found the below result
Result in the pilot
A new initiative to educate the children in Orphanage was
made and a team of about 7 volunteers visited an orphanage on weekly basis and
thought then basic math’s and English
Another team took up the imitative at Abode Precious
home...and handled English. The teams also visited old age home and provide
moral support to the elderly and also helped children affected with HIV by
sponsoring Nutrition Drink and providing them with dress
Having the taste of such social activities all though were
not directly reported to UN we had a satisfaction that we are doing something
towards MDGs and we took a courageous step to organize a Conference on MDGs to
bring further interested people together. And first official Conference of
UniGloW was successfully organized on 24 September 2012... and now as team we
wanted to take it forward as an internal project relating to United Nations MDGs….and this was
the inspiration for me to get involved in projects related to social
enterprising in University of Leicester
What happened after
that…look for f updates in the blog …Thanks of giving you valuable time reading
