one

Project name: "one"

Objective: To raise funds for charity

How to do it: Collect RM1 on the 1st of every month

Why: What is RM1 nowadays? What can you get with RM1? An ice cream? A drink? Pay toll? Pay parking? Nothing much, right? And... what is RM1 a month? Seriously its not much to you or to me but it could be a lot to people in need. So, my idea/ proposal is simple, if just a single person in a company, organisation, community, family, group, town, city, state, country or even continent donates RM1 to charity then it wouldn't mean much, as a matter of fact, it won't even mean or do anything but IF, let's say ten, a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand, a hundred thousand or even a million people should do it, imagine what RM1 can do...

Scope: Motorolans, friends and family (and then the world!!!)

What needs to be done beforehand: Compose email regarding project and mass email to Motorolans, friends and family, prepare coinbox (tabung), posters (if needed) and form to collect email address from people who donates, form a committee, design logo, open bank account, register as non-profit organisation

What needs to be done during: Collect email address (basically to keep the people who donates informed about what we do with the funds and so on so forth)

What needs to be done afterwards: Find charities to donate to, prepare reports on what the money has been used for (accounts) and email to everybody who donated

the most important is, how to get ppl to trust what u r doing. so many untrustworthy ppl these days, it's hard to get good deeds across.
