Over the past 10 years what are some of the significant achievements that also serve to define us in the space of organizations? I think AID's volunteer base of hundreds of people is something that very few groups and movements have in India or the USA. While attracting new volunteers, what is even more important is whether those of us who volunteer are making the best use of our time and training we have accrued over the years. In sheer numbers and team work we are capable of responding to injustice in India by way of petition letters in hundreds, even reaching a thousand at the notice of a phone call or email. This state of preparedness, achieved over thousands of hours of meaningful awareness building, work and debate, is valuable to many causes in India.Now the point that most of us at our own individual level grapple with is not whether we relate to an appeal sent by a dalit or tribal cause but whether we people sending and forwarding those appeals as well as we people reading them actually bother to take a print-out, and sign and mail the letter or fax the reponse making our hundreds of voices actually count. The same holds true in our preparedness to contribute time and money, to seek donations, and to do things that each and every project and process demands from us in its own unique way. Focussing on ourselves, we need to realize that both individually and as a team we have combined in a special manner and 10 years of learning that has accrued within the organization implies that as many actions that we can do by applying ourselves and getting over things like dis-organization, depression, loss of motivation and laziness are bound to be useful for a diverse numbers of causes, projects, NGOs, movements and people all over the country. This is not to make the point that we should stop learning or be immodest or pat ourselves on the back -- this is seriously to say that there aren't many groups with the kind of volunteer strength and knowledge we have and this has come about through rigorous hard-work of 10 years and every minute of our time today is valuable for someone in India to whom we reach out. Let's make the best use of it and become really disciplined in the way we manage our times and respond to each other constructively and make even more and more things happen.
