Motivational Letter from Sr Rosemary with few potential cases

We didn't take it forward as we didn't have enough fund to help these cases at that point of time...

Koottukarae,

I’m sure most of us have been thinking about giving something back to the society. So here’s an opportunity.

I have told many times about the ‘Sister’ who taught me in the school. She (Sr Rose Mary) was here in Bangalore a month back and that time I had discussed about this idea with her. She agreed immediately and she told she’ll let me know if she finds any genuine cases. She called me up this morning and she was talking to me about two cases.

Before going in to detail about the cases, I would like to know your thoughts on this initiative. If we decide to help, I don’t think we should stop with this. My idea is to form a core group and we can start accumulating some money on a monthly/quarterly/yearly basis and help the needy once we come to know about the same through reliable sources. You’ll never know, this can really grow big also. I’m very much serious about this.

I’ve talked about this to my friend Prasad and he’s really enthusiastic about this. I’ve copied him on this mail. He told he can get all his friends to join us. But I’ve told him to wait as I want to form a core group whom we really know and who really wants to help and then build on it.

Let the ideas flow inJ!!

Sasneham,

Pulicken.

I strongly agree with you. To start with, why dont we form an online group, may be yahoo groups. The membership will be strictly after confirmation by the core group, so that it wont become a junk group. Simultaneously we can start building the site also.

I'm happy people are really taking it serious and taking it into new heights. Keep up ur spirit guys....

Cheers

Prasad

It would be a good idea to register this initiative in form of a trust and take it forward ….As discussed, a website would be an ideal platform to put our goals towards this, so that others can view and understand about this initiative

Let’s meet sometime and discuss the workload and share among us

Thanks and Regards

Abraham E.V

Hi guys,

As per discussions with our team members regarding the direction in which we can move forward in our initiative I had a talk with my legal guys. So they have advised me that if you have a activity of accumulating a fund for any purpose it is advisable to form an entity, ie in our case a charitable organization which can be registered or unregistered and do all the transactions through that. It will be better if we make a decision right now if we have strong plans to take this initiative to next level. Of course it definitely requires some devotion of TIME & ENERGY to make all this possible from all individuals.

Why should we do this????

If we are transferring the fund to an individuals account (like our present case in which we may transfer to 3 yr old girls account) it doesn’t create any problem for us or for the person receiving it. It can be given from the individuals ( pulickens) account from which it is collected. We can still continue with that. But once puli’s accounts start receiving funds or certain amounts continuously from us on a monthly basis it can create probs for Pulicken.

What should be done??

Have discussions from all the members involved currently.

Take all their views.

Find a name.

Set a clear goal and be specific on our aims.

Then??

Now we need to give written application for registration.

Open a bank account

Prepare a MOU. (Format enclosed)

All the details on formation of charitable trust are clearly mentioned in the attached pdf. Please go through this in your free time. Don’t think that there is looott of formalities by seeing the doc..It is a very detailed doc.. We can get most of the things done by some firm. I am still in discussions with people to know whether we should immediately go for a charitable trust or start and maintain an account without an entity being registered. Will let you know in detail later..

So please send your views.

Best Regards,
