After 4 weeks of collection, we have managed to get Rs 67,833/- for this years collection. We would collect for another 3 weeks before closing the account for this year. Last year we had collected slightly over 2 lacs.
You might have noticed that we have not done any individual and one to one follow up this year. This is not because of our lack of initiative, but due to the instruction from Satya da. During a discussion with him regarding BHS collection- he had suggested not to follow up on collection. He was of the opinion that willing participants would contribute without being asked and the joy of giving diminishes and people might feel a bit stressed, if asked for help again and again.
I am attaching the list of participants and the amount contributed till now as a reference.
