MadCow1:
[b]Hi Jaybee..


Thanks for the response..

Hmm.. This is quite diffenrent from the standard 'Charity Flight' Modus Operandi or listing out homes, their needs and our target.

Okay.. So this is my biggest concern with your response;

1) Our plan is to visit 2 - 4 hospitals, identify elderly patients that may need some sort of help, ask for their respective needs then see how we can meet them depending on donation received. We have 2 volunteer Nlers on standby as well as our dedicated field officers.


What this means to me is;

1. We have no real identified cause[s]
2. We would just get the donations in before identifying a cause that we would be applying the funds to.
3. '2 Volunteers plus field officers' sounds to me like; '1 Hospital or 1 state'..


**Concerns**

The Concerns I have with this type of 'flight' is primarily the lack of a cause.. Dont get me wrong, I dont distrust you guys.. Thats not the point I am driving at. From an inspirational point of view, the one reason for the success of TeHN has remained 'THE CAUSE'. Example: Trying to gather funds to help relocate a family from under a bridge.. Or .. Helping Late Fola treat a massive Goitre and set up a business.. Or like with last years flight, Identify motherless homes and the likes, find out their immediate needs and try to reach them whilst giving them a little Christmas cheer..
With what you have described above, it feels like the plan is to stroll into a Hospital with cash in pocket and look for an elderly person with a dire case to help.. Not bad in and of itself, but would be hard to sell...

Coverage seems like its going to be smaller than last years..

Maybe you could elaborate on the whole plot of this for me to better understand it.

Thanks for your questions bro.. Much appreciated

The challenge though justified but not to be used as a deterrent for this year’s flight is the theme. Some of the feedbacks we received in the past was to extend our charitable arm towards the elderly which is equally one of the vulnerable groups in any given demographics. We knew this was going to be difficult as it was never going to be easy to identify care homes dedicated for the elderlies as most Nigerian’s regardless of their financial standing would prefer to sit and take care of their aged until the succumb to the mighty event called death.

Considering the point above, we took the cautious decision to identify our cohorts in a more systematic way by:
1) Visiting hospitals first
2) Identifying their needs
3) Decide on what we going to provide
4) Publish the plan
5) Procure then disburse

The order changed because of the following reasons:
1) it’s quite easy to guesstimate needs of children but no so easy for elderly folks.
2) Our previous plans were always tentative and though we agree that it’s always easy for potential donors to see how donations will be used even though the plan has always been dynamic
3) We wanted to get the thread out on time so we can increase our chances of receiving enough donation to actualize our plans

Lastly, just to stress a little bit further. We always planned to publish plans as we go along. We were never going to disburse funds before formalizing/publishing our plans. We have already started engaging with our volunteers to do the ground work but we've also got the current issue of low patronage to deal with.

Happy to discuss further if you feel your questions haven’t been answered

Regards

MadCow1:

Is this the thread for the Donations?!

Yes Sir

MadCow1:


Homes to be visited and where they are located

1) Our plan is to visit 2 - 4 hospitals, identify elderly patients that may need some sort of help, ask for their respective needs then see how we can meet them depending on donation received. We have 2 volunteer Nlers on standby as well as our dedicated field officers
2) We are leaving the option of NLers making recommendations of elderly folks that they know might need help for a month so we can investigate and accept as we go along.
3) We have a pending case of a struggling young man that doesn’t necessarily fall under this year’s theme that we’ve decided to act upon if we have any excess after the first 2 plan has been executed

MadCow1:


Requirements of the individual homes (after a recce and interaction with the admins of the homes and the care givers)

We sort of need to receive more donations before we can start mobilising the team to that effect. Total donation received as of this morning is 10K. We need more help Sir

MadCow1:


Our target per home (including market survey)

It’s slightly difficult to budget for each home as we don’t know how many patients or individuals we had be able to identify. Our plan is to only provide goods/items that can help improve the quality of their health/life

MadCow1:

Im sorry to be placing demands on you guys o!! I wish I could be a little more involved than this.. So please indulge me now.

More Engine Oil to your Elbows..

God Bless TeHN..

Thanks for your continuous support bro

keppyy:
I'm not a Ma'am...I live in port-harcourt and it's about 45mins drive from my house.

Can we work with you to help establish an initial contact with the home?

Gboliwe:
Set goals? Sorry, but I sincerely don't know what the agreed goals are. Please intimate me.

My bad,sorry about that.

So we decided as a group to move forward with the following action plans (set goals) and was wondering how you can help with any of them:

1) We shall try and recruit regional volunteer coordinators that can help visit hospitals where we can find elderly folks that may need some sort of help during these period. They are to help identify their needs and then report back so we can make executive decisions on how we plan to use donated money to meet some of these needs.

2) We will leave the option of NLers making recommendations of elderly folks that they know and might need help for a month so we can investigate and accept as we go along.

3) We shall work with the NLers that suggested 2 dedicated care homes for the elderly to investigate and in turn include into our planning if they are deemed fit for purpose.

Update:
Donation thread is now live => https://www.nairaland.com/1935512/tehn-calling-all-givers-hlp

Gboliwe:
Most if not all Nigerians who can afford to put their aged ones in homes do NOT live below the poverty level.

I think we should pick the option of looking around us and finding one aged who is really in need of a breathe of fresh air.
Like someone mentioned, the north as it is today need a lot of help too. We can also look at helping a family or two up north.

Hi Gboliwe,
We would like to move this forward so any ideas on how we can achieve the set goals?

keppyy:
That's the address..Harbour road is at borokiri

Thanks for the Info Ma'am. Can i please ask if you are anywhere close to the location of the home?

barcanista:

SpcAgtOko:
This... Both work, both contribute.. The man is the head, but that doesn't mean he should shun his partners suggestions. They discuss together, he makes the choice based on what is best for the family.

Any lady who works and wants to keep it all for herself and allow her husband to pay all expenses is greedy.

Mr/mrs r321, we sent email (essay) since august but we haven't heard anything yet.. Have we been disqualified?

feedback will be provided once the application stage closes. The closing date is dec 31st.

We published the timeline of event on the first page so please refer to it

claremont:
This is discriminatory.

The overall point of the scholarship is a noble development, but it's implementation to intentionally exclude students in other institutions of higher learning defeats its altruistic goals.

Thanks for your feedback

spoilerx:
why always essay? if you are not a very good writer then your chances are slim ..

The winner is not necessarily going to be the best writer. The winner is going to be one who has met the yet to be defined competency level for university aspirants as well as being able to provide evidence of financial hardship alongside exemplar grades

cococandy: This stew go sweet well well.

Well I was quite young then. I thought she would understand. I never experience nigerian women in their full glory at that time. I for just ignore the first message sef.

I didn't collect stuff him because I hadn't even said yes to date him. Collecting would have been agreement na. I just didn't found out I didn't like him enough to date him after the first few meetings.

Who answers Boniface in this time and age?the name was a turn off in itself.

Abeg Collect Z phone the next he comes knocking

cococandy: I am mr obi. I want to cheat on my wife.
Single girl nkechi refuses my advance
I go to single girls ada,lori,nikky etc etc and all refuse.
I find refuge in mrs solomon.
Bottom line is I am the married person here.
So if I want my marriage to be protected,I'm the one responsible for that.

The world doesn't owe me the duty to protect my marriage. I owe my partner that duty. So thinking my marriage failed because single girls didn't say no to me would be very sstupid of me.

What about the virgins who get cheated on by their husbands? Who did they offend and who's karma is haunting them?

Even as I'm married I get offers from men outside. Do you think if I cheat I'll be foolish enough to try say I cheated because the guy kept on wooing me or didn't say no to my advance?

Really it's funny for anyone to try blame single people for married ones who won't remember their vows when they want to cheat.

Phew

NOPE, Not because of your irrelevant perceived negative qualities but simply because of your lack in self confidence

We all love Jarus not just because he is super intelligent, humble, kind with extreme integrity but also because he is simply a NL hall of famer.

Having said the above, Jarus can't be nominated as he is part of the executive members of TeHN
