The Gameplan

We're scheduled to have our K.I.D.S meeting sometime next week. I'm raher excited. Things have been quite on-air since the the last meeting, and everyone else busy with work. I'm the only student in the management team, but hey, nothing wrong in that.

As i mentioned before, my official title is as Vice-President. But i am also the head of operations, healtchare programme coordinator and the acting nutrition programme coordinator (she is currently super-swamped with her job as an on-site geologist). Its ok, since i spend a lot of my time thinking about K.I.D.S anyway, trying to come up with ideas and looking for loose ends to tie up & patch up.

I've had a lot of headache with the healthcare programme. However, things cleared up u bit with Albi's help : she voluntarity stepped in to temporarily handle the healthcare branch. Eventually, i managed to draft up the plans & also managed to contact MEDSTAS UMS (medical students from Universiti Malaysia Sabah). The idea is so they could help organize annual health check for these kids. They seem interested, but further discussions & red-tape stuff will be needed. Aside from that, i've managed to consult my friend who works at UNHCR regarding suitable public health programs. I'm thankful she's willing to help me out as a favor....no red tape! I owe her lots.

Progress seems slow, doens't it? Not really our fault. You see, there's really not much we can do on the surface until the organization is fully, officially registered. All necessary documents were submitted to the department in question over a week ago. Unfortunately, things are taking longer than they should. What can i say, we are all humans after all.

Next, the progress on nutrition. I've split it into nutrition & sanitation, and i've drafted out the implementation strategies. It seems volunteers for the nutrition will have a lot of 'factory work' to do, as in assembling the food packages & ensuring it gets to the destination & intended recepients. We may also wanna help out with comfort items like toothbrushes, clothes and sleeping bags, but all those are secondary to the food & hygiene program.

Now as VP, i'm compiling the modules from each of our departments/bureaus for our main organization's formal proposal; a standard version to approach third parties for sponsorship & collaboration. Sounds like a lot of work, but it shouldn't be so long as everyone pulls in their weight. Judging from the level of commitment the team has had from Day 1, i forsee minimal speed bumps. Fingers crossed!

Thats all i can say for now, coz everything else is beyond my jurisdiction and i dont wanna be stepping on anyone's toes on this. Once again, this is after all my own personal blog. Till next time, toodles!
