Résumé
Bethany Society is a non-profit, secular, registered, charitable Society established in Mendal, East Garo Hills, Meghalaya, India in 1981. They create opportunities for persons with disabilities and the rural poor through inclusive education, sustainable livelihoods, and social inclusion.Since they started they have impacted the lives of nearly 10.000 persons with disability and their families. More than 1.000 adult persons with disabilities are engaged in independent income generation programmes and every year 80 teachers are trained in inclusive education.
All that work requires funds, so Bethany Society enjoyed doing Change the Game Academy's Local Fundraising course. During their Festival of Inclusion, they reaped the benefits.
Conseils et leçons apprises
1. Weather conditions play an important role in the success or failure of an event like ours.
2. Financial constraints; you have to adapt your plans to your financial limitations.
Remarques Wilde Ganzen
A festival offers the opportunity to put together a varied programme that attracts a wide audience. In this case, there was also something very special: the 'Café in the Dark' where sighted people could experience what it is like to visit a café as a blind person.
But even the most appealing programme requires publicity to attract people. And here Bethany Society scored particularly well. They sent e-mails to the participants (parents, teachers, community members), donors, and the bands. Pamphlets were distributed in the community, to the wellwishers, students, and other stakeholders. It was sent to the donors in the mails too. Banners and posters were put out on the streets nearby and in the vicinity of nearly 5 Kms with the help of volunteers. Board members made phone calls to potential donors. Promos were posted on social media and videos of the event were shared after the event.
