AID/sAthi - Stimulated Volunteer Program

Time : 9:00 a.m., Monday, May 29
Venue : 6-120, MIT

About the session

The concept of the Stimulated Volunteer (SV) is a natural extension of our Fellowship idea. From time to time we come across persons who show every inclination to want to contribute to the development of India somewhat along the lines envisaged by us. However, they lack the means to carry out their "SERVICE." Our input would be to provide support - financial or in kind so that the person can proceed without having to worry about feeding him/herself and their dependents. We seek out people by interacting deeply with them and invite them to become "sAthis" (or SV's) of AID for a while so that we all get enriched by the process.

Individual chapters have been having discussions on this idea. This session aims to finalize the mechanics of the deploying the SV program.
