We've received the amended budget, and although it has been whittled down considerably, it still stands rather high at GH¢32,000. It's quite a lot, but we hope we'll be able to meet (or at least come close to) the target. We have till the end of June to raise everything we can, so we'll just have to work as hard as we can until then.
With the budget now confirmed, the sponsorship letter is complete and will be given to all junior and senior mentors. If you have a particular person or organisation you'd like to approach and need a sponsorship letter, you can shoot me an email at either infoYLMP@gmail.com or odoley90@hotmail.com and I'll get one to you. Alternatively if you are a member of this blog, you can simply comment on this post. Please note that if you are not affiliated with the YLMP or Databank, your request will have to be reviewed and approved by the Programme Manager before a letter can be sent.
We're also trying to get the mentees involved in raising funds so they feel like they are a part of the project. 'Support cards' have been created and will be distributed to them this Friday at the mini seminar. They contain a few details about the Programme and what it is we're hoping to get done. Although we're not expecting to raise a significant amount from this, we hope that the mentees will be able to get involved and feel a sense of pride in playing an integral role and making a practical contribution towards project.
In the meantime, we also have to think about projects we can start in order to create a culture of reading among Kinbu students. It's all very well and good refurbishing the library, but if students are not in the habit of reading our efforts will have been in vain. Once again if you have any ideas, just let me know and I'll pass the information on.
