Last Saturday, 50 Indians visited the Goducate office to find out more about it.
This group of men had earlier heard about Goducate from their leader who had tried to explain to them about it aims and projects. We have discovered that, even after explanation, many people do not really understand what Goducate is and what it does.
I think this is because Goducate is not your typical non-profit organization. Not too many Asia-wide organizations focus on education as a tool to help poor Asians help themselves. Most Asia-wide charity organizations are usually more into disaster relief work (eg. earthquakes, tsunamis, typhoons or cyclones). And, on the other hand, charitable educational organizations are usually more local, rather than Asia-wide, in their scope.
After spending almost three hours at Goducate office, I believe they left with a far better understanding of what it is and what it does. In fact, before they left the office, these fifty men committed to support and help Goducate!
I hope that many other groups/organizations will visit us and, then like our Indian friends, eventually be a part of the Goducate “team.”
As a new non-profit organization, Goducate needs many supporters and volunteers.
