Volunteering Opportunities with ECC Campaign

If you want to join 'Every Child Counts' campaign as a group or institute, you can take responsibility of your own area - for finding and enrolling children in schools. The information about schools and admission procedure will be provided to you during induction programme. In case of any difficulties, you can contact the campaign team for support.

There are several ways of contributing to the campaign, some involve field work while some can be done from home.

1. Field Work
- Survey of construction sites in your area where labour camps are seen;
- Data collection for all 6 years old children in labour camps;
- Talking to construction labour, preparing documents for school enrolments, talking to corporation school teachers, etc;
- Actual admissions in June-2012 and subsequent follow-up for one academic term;
- Reporting the enrolment data and observations during enrolment drive.

2. Home Work
- Mapping of your area or other, with corporation schools and construction sites;
- Addressing students' or citizens' groups in your area;
- Publicising the campaign through newspapers, classifieds, radio, etc;
- Promoting the campaign through social networking websites and forums;
- Writing blogposts, updating Facebook/Twitter accounts for the campaign;
- Raising funds for campaign activities (can be done through some tee-shirt printing+selling, street-play, etc. events).

Citizens are also welcome to suggest their own ways of contributing to the cause.

Do not think you can not do much; believe us you can... because you are not alone.
Together, we can! All you need is desire to help.
