Sharing my Thoughts....

The Background:-
Till now, I never realized that “Life is meaningless and empty” and “Life is what we create for ourselves”. I used give an interview, wait for the company/firm to decide if I deserve the job and then it would came my way…… So someone else is deciding for me……And obviously end of the day im not happy doing it. I have nothing that I have created for myself. All that im living is all that got created because of situations. I did not have the power to create. I realized I would be happier making difference in people’s lives than be an employee in any big company. I am a powerful human being and I know I can accomplish what I create for myself and enroll powerful people in it. I want to be sincere to myself this time.
The thought:-
I am extremely delighted today as I found a cause for the NGO I wanted to start. I started realizing that if I don’t do what I want to do in life, I will never be happy. And I truly want to be happy. It might take me at least 3-4 years in bringing this concept into being but I want to start the thinking and planning process right now. I feel children are the people who can be molded and made better human beings for tomorrow. I want to help Orphan/abandoned children be alive and strong till they are able to keep themselves alive and strong.
The Plan:-
Just talking about NGO and doing nothing about it will not serve the purpose. And when we talk about an NGO, the first thing that comes to our mind is “Social development organization assisting in empowerment of people”. And it happens when “Funds” are raised and spent on economically/physically challenged section of the society. Yes, I also want to spend money on this section of the society but I want to do it differently without expectation.
1. Getting money from some source and spending that money sincerely could be a possibility but the satisfaction one gets out of this is just that “I am working for a good cause”.
2. I want to create a cause and support the cause……External funds welcomed but in kind only.
My entire family was from an NGO background and I do not want to comment on how they worked but I want to chart out the way I want to work.
I will have a business which will support the NGO with at least 50% of its profit. I need to consult with the right kind of people in this regard. I want to read about it and gather enough information on this so that im aware and ready for any consequences.
NGO: - "Abhisarga" means “To Create” in Sanskrit.
Cause: - Create Life for orphan/abandoned children
Kids below the age of five (orphans/abandoned) will be identified and brought to the centre. Every person who is working for this centre will be someone with good values & service oriented. Lots of care will be taken while choosing these people. The kids will grow up in the centre and will be sent for education. The centre will be a peaceful place. The atmosphere in which they grow up makes a big contribution for kids of that age. There will not be more than 3-5 children initially (5 is also a big number to start). Gradually depending on the money inflow, the number of children will be increased and so the place, helpers etc which is a long term plan. However, this will be a gradual increase so will be able to cope with it.
The Funds in kind can be received in the below mentioned ways:
1. Impart the knowledge/talent for these children. (Like yoga classes for free; dance classes for free, craft classes etc)
2. If they do not have any talent that can be imparted, then they can purchase some material for the centre which will be useful for the children.
3. Clothes / books can be donated.
4. They can sponsor education for children.
5. The schools can be approached for education either free/with concession
6. Or any other means of donating but not cash directly.
The idea behind this method of donating is to ensure the donation given for a specific purpose should reach only that. The cash for this will be supported by the company that I will own. Only donations in kind are welcomed.
Please read this and comment. You can give suggestions and feedback on this plan. Thank you for taking time to read this.
