First of all Hello & warm and smiley greetings from PrarthanaJ
World’s Richest Run, “Sunfeast World 10k Run” is back again. Come 23rd May 2010 and you will see an energy wave sweep the whole of Bangalore off its feet. I will participate for the third time and my enthusiasm and eagerness to just be there has everything to do with the unwavering and unflinching support I have received from you all in past. I am running to show my consistency towards various causes dear to me and towards which I have been dedicating myself over the last 6 years. Causes are many and “We need a massive number of volunteers to change the fortune of our country!” I am participating in Run solely with an intention to make thousands of people aware about various Volunteering opportunities and various causes where they could volunteer and make a difference…
Choice is yours: If you believe in me, my passion and commitment towards good cause and if you wish to support my run for a cause dear to ‘your’ heart you may choose from the below few organisations I am personally associated with either as an Employee or as a volunteer or as a Trustee:

My total target is Rs 2,65,000 in total and amount raised so far is Rs 34,250/-. Balance Rs 2,30,750, looks difficult figure but not impossible. If even 20% of people reading this email come forward and donate a minimum of Rs 250/- I assume to donate the target set and support many NGO’s running a good show in the city!!!
So junta, changing life is just a click away, with simple procedure – click n link mentioned in my mail against cause dear to you, read my appeal page and about NGO and if satisfied with the work and mission of organistaion click donate button and donate as much as you can generouslyJ

Prarthana
Status - I have raised a grand total of Rs. 38601 so far. Looking to achieve my target of Rs 265,000/-
Hello Helloooo:)
Exactly 5 days to go, today I am very happyJ No… No, not that I have achieved the target of raising Rs 265,000, but it’s becos of support from few individuals and good wishes from many that I have actually opened my account for 20 NGO’s (all 19 NGO’s I appealed for + 20th, the Charity partner Bangalore Cares, who would get certain small share for maintaining website while we donate online)
Current Status is I have raised a minimum of Rs 250 and maximum of Rs 8,500/- for an NGO, with a total of Rs 41,251 so far for all 20 together… I still have a target of Rs 223,749 to achieve and it is possible with few more individuals pitching in.
Please don’t step back if net is creating a problem, becos your donation means a lot to many of us involved, especially the beneficiaries, whose life will be impacted positively. Contact me for any help/clarification...
Remember, there always exists an opportunity to think beyond “You”, “Your Job” and “Your family”… So let’s try and change few lives… I am sure it’s possible through ‘You” and “Your support”…

Status at EOD - Rs 42,501 do far in total...
Firstly I am willing to be prosecuted for spamming Ur inbox, becos all organisations doing good work deserve to be supported and recognised to our best… It is often said that little drops of water make a mighty ocean. Such is the case where little acts of change reflect massively on a big picture. This approach is one which society must take in order to seek to improve its well being… And an event like this is a wonderful trigger to do your bit for charity, since it symbolises community spirit, melts all barriers and provides a unique platform for fund raising. Get involved and make a difference!!!
And and and the Countdown begins… 2 days to go… And 3rd day we’ll be on the ground and everyone will see an energy wave sweep the whole of Bangalore off its feet…
Status so far – Collections for 20 NGO’s – Rs 46,001/- out of total target set of Re 2,65,000/-. Although I not reached target set but I am glad I was able to open account for all 20 NGO’s, and I truly hope and wish to atleast have some 5 digit figure for every NGO through support from many of you!!!
Thanks and look forward to your support, call me or mail me if you need any clarifications or details!!!
Best Regards,
Prarthana

The screaming of slogans in josh during run, “Kaisa laga kaisa laga, accha laga accha laga”, “I Volunteer Do You” “ Your skills, can change lives” “Intentions Don’t make a difference, Volunteers Do” “Bangalore Police ge, Jai” and for various NGO’s we came across “XYZ NGO rocks, Hip Hip Hurray” “3 cheers to XYZ NGO, Hp Hip Hurray” etc etc etc Of course not to forget appreciation by judges specially for iVolunteer’s group saying it was a brilliant concept and we could spread the message to public at large through our volunteers who participated in costume competition that Causes are many and we need massive no. of volunteers to change the fortune of our country…. It was good to see our partner NGO Enable India winning the competitionJ Congrats to the EI teamJ

Dear Prathana and all friends at iVolunteer,
Greetings from SICHREM!
Run Maadi Run SICHREM ke liye run! run maadi run iVolunteer ke liye run.....
i Volunteer do you! SICHREM SICHREM running for human rights!!
Well, these were the lines that I kept hearing right from the beginning to the end of the majja run of Sunfeast Bangalore marathon. It was truly amazing to see each of you so passionate about the cause you are volunteering. And the team spirit led by our one and only Prathana Mathaji :) led the entire process along with all the other volunteers. I think we should congratulate each of us for being part of the entire show and making this event a grand success.
I should tell you, you guys just rocked the entire show.
My special appreciation for not just choosing to run for iVolunteer but 20 causes. Hats Off to you all.
It was a great sign of gesture that you have conveyed to the rest of us. I was moved by your whole efforts.
I do not have words to appreciate and thank our young friend who actually was in chains to show rights violation and bondage... which conveyed the message very clearly. Thanks a lot yaar..
Every cause is important. And you proved it again. What an idea sirji!!
My heartfelt thanks and gratitude to each of you. Continue this spirit and we feel very happy that you guys are with us in realising our vision of making human rights a household concept..
We wish to say we are with you..
3 cheers to iVolunteer team.....
With best regards,
Jyothi
