We do not want the Boys to do it for the sake of doing. That is the philosophy we stand on. Even though it is not an easy path, we still do it anyway.
This is done when we asked a special guest to speak about his condition and screen a 1 hour video about Love Life.
I tell you, I thank God really for the guest and video which came sort of at the right time. It just set the "WHY we do BB CARES" correctly for the Boys.
Now, as the 3 FAAs need to focus on How to get about making the event happens, it is as a smoother journey (I hope) since they understand why origami, shirt-making and music video is related to this project.
As per normal, this blog serve to support and the FAAs in this journey. So lets me give an example.
This is a summary of my plan when I did a recruitment booth for SP Primers years ago.
Goal:
Attain 1000 contacts over a span of 3 days showing interest in SP Primers, in the form of the booth.
Roles:
Booth IC - Supervising the entire 3 days
Logistic team (2 pax) - Making sure that Happi Coat is done (so that everyone at the booth can wear), table is decorated nicely, all materials like balloons, sign-up forms is available.
Admin team (2 pax) - Consolidating the sign up forms and create calling list. (managing 1000 contacts is no joke) And roster people to man the booth.
Training IC (1 pax) - Train Primers to be efficient recruiter.
Processes:
1. Processes of Day to Day work flow. From Recruiting to Getting the Contacts to Putting to Calling List to Passing to Callers
2. Booth Set-up/Close Down procedures.
3. Communication to rest of Primers about Booth operations and how they can chip in by submitting availability dates.
4. Set up timeline. Set Logistics Ready date, Happi Coat Ready date, Roster Out date. Allow each team to set their own realistic dateline.
Relationships:
Booth IC to monitor the workload of the team members, not so much
Booth IC to train up year 2 to take over roles in the coming year.
So FAAs, as you do your next entry, you can consider them. Of course, I would expect you to input much more information. For example the shapes of your origami, design of the origami wall, t-shirt design, music and lyrics etc.
Be mindful of the datelines i given! =)
By the way, John 12:24 is the verse that Dora mum mention in the documentary that we saw in that 1 hour. Indeed, only when the kernel of wheat dies can it produce many seeds. The journey ahead will only gets tougher and my challenge for you is to die to self (which literally means cutting down on time you spend for your entertainment and pouring most of your energy to this Project) so that you can see many seeds (people touched by the effort you put in and bridging the School to ARC Children Centre.)
Cheers! I will be rooting you on!
By the way, this is the Booth Team that work with me when I was with SP Primers. the DIY Happi Coat is the first time we ever do such a coat and it took us 2 days to it. Nice right?
