Session T-88: Fund raising - special group project

Time: 7:30 PM

Goals:

· To introduce possible fund raising ventures applicable to those countries where trainees will be working

· To provide opportunity for trainees assigned to the special group project to build on communication technology transfer skills

Overview:

This session is done as a special group project by trainees. The SPG leader researches and presents as many forms of fund raising/income generating projects as possible. The importance of locally-raised funds is emphasized, since outside money is not regarded as belonging to the community; "ownership" of a project may be questioned. Fund raising of entirely local money may take much longer than ever anticipated, but the project would then be by the community - for the community.
