MAD Bangalore – results of the First Workshop
Posted by Tan in Newsletter V 1.0, Volunteer Files... on June 25th, 2009
Recently MAD Bangalore organized the first ever workshop (Previous Post) on June 20, 2009. I know you were eager to know what happened in there. Well, here is what has happened there.
MAD Bangalore is all set...
This workshop was focused on inviting all the people who showed interest in MAD over the last couple of years and who have registered on the MAD website. The core team here contacted each and everyone in the list, whoever was available either over the phone or over emails. We met a varied group of people – differing demographically as well as in their motive to join MAD. There were people from all segments of the society – students, professionals, retired bureaucrats and social workers. Some were very keen to join asap, while some had a blurred idea about the MAD vision and mission. The interactions with those people were awesome and most of the time it was a two way learning. However, after two weeks of meeting and interacting with all the fascinated people, we came up with a list of those who committed to be present during the workshop.
Many of those who committed turned up. It’s true that the crowd was lesser than expected, but, we were able to pull in a good number of people. The workshop started with a motive to select those who were not only keen to join but can commit and understand the importance of staying involved and giving.
The evening was fine when we met the people in Rotary House, Bangalore. People showed as much interest in knowing and exploring about MAD as much as the core team was engrossed in explaining the vision and answering their queries. The gathering was good with positive flow of energy and information.
Finally, we have got a list of people who can be part of MAD. They are equally excited and committed to be involved and to give. The final team of volunteers would be chosen soon.
MAD Bangalore is all set now and so is Bangalore.
Come, lets join hands and positively, Make a Difference!

MAD is in Bangalore! And Bangalore is all set to Make A Difference.
... is in Bangalore!
MAD Bangalore is all geared up to get into the activities and is eyeing the foremost classes to begin in July. At this point in time, we need YOU to come up and share the stage.
The society has given us so much from the very first moment that we were born. We need to give back something too. There is a need – a perfect want where we can contribute and fill up the space – a gap between unequal strata of our society. Education is a tool which can easily bridge this gap. WE CAN share the knowledge we have with them who are in need of it and can utilize it better, but have no resources to tap. WE CAN stand beside them and help them stand on their own feet.
Do you love to be with kids – surrounded, respected and inspired by them?
Do you think teaching English to a kid will help India grow?
Can you give away 2 hours of your time weekly?
Do you think that you can Make A Difference?
Do you have it in you, what it takes to MAD?
Can you do it?
I CAN, CAN YOU?
If you think YOU too CAN, then come let’s join hands and take the pledge. Let’s work together towards edifying the basic and most wide spread segment of our society – the children – the destitute – the future of the nation.
MAD Bangalore is organizing its very first recruitment workshop this Saturday, June 20, 2009. Let’s work together and contribute – together, WE CAN and WE WILL Make A Difference!

(sigh) I know, I know, it’s not cool to keep changing the rules, but, hey, you want that grand prize at the end or not?? 
If yes, read up.. If no, take a minute, imagine what would happen to you if Sanjana finds out you haven’t been putting in the attendance on time, and then try making up your mind again… 
Anyhow, I’ve been getting too many queries lately on what and how the MadComps are… I hope the following will make it clear..
Event 1 : The Unbeatable Blogger ~ 50 Points
This hasn’t changed since it’s inception. If your post stays on top of the blog for three days at an end, starting from 12 Midnight that day, you win !!
Eg : Post is put in on 23rd Jan @ 7:00 PM, the three days start @ 12 Midnight 24 Jan..
Event 2 : Magnum Opus ~ 50 Points
New event.. At the end of every month, the top five posts will be picked and put up as a poll.. Voting period will be one week.. The post that scores most wins !!
Last month’s winner was Bindia’s Holy Ghost Camp Post.. Way to go !!
Event 3 : Credit Crunch ~ 20 Points
The Orphanage with the highest credit at the end of every two weeks gets 20 points.. Mind you, it’s an average figure, so ask other volunteers in your orphanage to get their credits up too.. !! (If asking doesn’t work, try strangling them a bit)
Event 4 : Feeding the Feedback Forum (FFF) ~ 30 Points
Not in operation yet… To be kicked off by next week..
Orphanage with the highest percentage of Feedback Registration in the Orkut Community gets the points..
To be computed every two weeks…
Event 5 : Innovator Supremo ~ 30 Points
To be carried out every month… The five most innovative, most daring, most productive ideas will be put up for voting.. Voting ends after a week.. The winner gets the points..
Event 6 : AttenDancing ~ 12 Points
Attendance Registration for each class.. The full complement of points is 12.. If you put in all attendance for a week, you get 12 points… If you miss one, you get 6 (8 for STC and 0 for HG). If you miss two, you get 0 (4 for STC). Hope you got the draft. To be computed every week.
So anyhow, we only have a couple of months more.. So guys lets get to it !!
I’m betting Pallu will lose big time this year..
