New NPO in progress

Is it the time to shape my little chunks of ideas and interests? Is it the time to have a definitive goal towards giving back? A friend of mine initiated this idea of starting an NPO and made us all part of it. While we are in the process of structuring NPO, here are my ideas towards its name and vision, i am making it public to attract any suggestions -

Name of the NPO:

For me, name of the NPO itself doesn’t have to show the vision of the NPO. Name should be pleasant and closer to the members and targeted people of NPO. Something that represents India and intensions of the members (representing unity, clean intensions towards charity etc.,).

Names I liked in recent days are
• Samukyutha
• Cheyootha
• Baasata
• Sahaya spoorthi
• Names of kids we helped for operations in recent days (Pranay, Prathibha and I don’t remember other names).
• Some tweaks to white color.
• Name of the season like spring.
• Famous Telugu words.

I will be posting the same to my friends and getting their opinions too. I should be finalizing some name soon.

Vision of the NPO:

My 2 cents while NPO is being structured.

I stepped into many activities like following in the past

• Donations to NPO’s
• Volunteered NPO’s and spending some time with children.
• Pooled funds and handled operations for needy people.

But this was so random and my target was completing my instant interest of helping needy. I never aimed high or deep on this, but my baby NPO is in progress and I can put forward my thoughts, my experience and aim high.

My vision to adopt an NPO down in India and adopt a village to start with and arrange camps covering following

• Medical tests
• Tracking education progress and helping financially or other related stuff.
• Assignments on life science. Essentials like cleanliness and other stuff.
• Counseling children (and parents) and drive motivate them towards above mentioned items.
• Increasing re-usability awareness.

Agenda for every month should be prepared, discussed and centralized. Discussions can be achieved in the form of a thread and later finalized by committee members over conference call.

Apart from above, i would suggest focusing on operations to kids too.

Other than these, we will have to target on forming committees, forming a group (facebook or yahoo or google)and pledging everyone on donations.
