Subject: {BSUF} Sewa Day Finland 2011: Congratulations and Thank you!


Dear Friends,
 
Last Sunday 25th Sep 2011, we all concluded Sewa Day activities in Keskustori,Tampere(Finland) in a global fashion:
This video tells what we mean by "Global" - http://youtu.be/D2A8Ey3gdgc
 
Sewa Day 2011 couldn't have happened without YOU – the Volunteer and well-wishers. A huge thanks for all your support. The community at large has truly benefitted from your generosity. We got an excellent support from Sewa Day UK team. Thanks to those who have supported this cause in the foreground, background and with best wishes! 
 
Here is Finland specific statistics of the efforts which you all have put:
Total Number of Projects: 11
Total Volunteers working in these projects : 148
Total person hours efforts : ~ 400 person hours
No. of organization Involved: 13
Organizations, Associations involved: Naistari, Maijalanpuisto Paivakoti, Kanjonin Paivakoti, BSUF, Indus, Immigrants and Finns who love Finland, EOAW(Empowerment of African Women), Keinupuisto, HSS Finland, Koukkuniemen Vanhainkoti, Sahaj Yoga, International Early Education Cente,Tampere Poliisi.

Media Coverage:
Sewa Day received a good print media coverage. Please find the attached photos from Aamhulehti news and Hervanen Sanomat:
 
As per Arup and Sewa Day team have said on various occasions that one day won’t change the world. However, we hoped that Sewa Day would encourage a) more people to consider volunteering as part of their regular routine b) more people and countries to take part in Sewa Day next year and c) bring people from different walks of life, cultures and communities closer together. It certainly feels like we’ve made a good start towards reaching these objectives.
 
Please send your comments, suggestions, inputs or experiences to fin...@sewaday.org

Next year, we hope many more would join to this noble cause.
 
Regards,
Sewa Day Finland Team
