This has been a crazy week for me! I was away the end of last week and over the weekend for a War Child confrence and on Tuesday and Wednseday in the WC office. I have been at TIG Monday, Thursday, Friday. This is raising new challenges for me as I have less time to work on TIG things then I am used to. SO I have started to answer most of my TIG emails in the evening so my time in the office is cleared up.
So what I have accomplished in the last few days:
.I have been answering quite alot of responses to youth reps who have been replying to the individual progress report I sent out to all 40+ of them. if you want to read their responses they are in the admin section.
.I have been approving the tons of new volunteers we have been getting and trying to get about 8 others to help with the fundraising research
.working with Jeni, a volunteer, on the HRDC grants for summer positions
.working on the documentation for the TakingITLocal sight including, responsibilites of a youth rep, fundraising, becoming a youth rep, starting a local team and encouraging Martin to work on a guide to using the new admin site. this is a lot of work, becuase most of the docuemnts need to be re-written to account for the manual. I also want improve the resources to make being a youth rep a lot easier!
.working with Andy to plan out the fundraising stuff for TIG, including getting all TIG core team to prepare budgets and project goals for the next year.
.preparing the budgets for the areas I am responsible for
.speaking with lot sof people over email about differnt initiaives, including CIDA, an organizaiton from Kenya etc.
.working with Susheela on the volunteer program
.working with Maitreyi, a youth rep from India, on her IBelieve project.
Thats all I think...accept for the million other things that aren't mentioned here.
Super excited for a break this weekend! Yeah Amanda's birthday!!
