Kalakaar Results (Important)

[Office]

Hi All,

Since I didn't hear from anyone, here is something I came up with. Please react to this and respond by EOD today. Otherwise, we will be publishing this on the Kalakaar site along with the campaign results.

"Thank you for participating in Vibha’s Digital Nirvana Kalakaar 2012! You have helped make this event a huge success by submitting 643 photos and 13,724 likes on our facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/VibhaKalakaar.

Through this event, you, our sponsors, and generous donors have funded a school day for 5,250 children. Events like these, and participants like you have enabled Vibha to bring a ray of hope in the lives of over 250,000 underprivileged children in India and the US. To find out more about our mission and projects, please visit us at www.vibha.org."


Thanks,
Vivek

Vivek,

IMO it would sound more meaningful if we say the funds raised would fund an year's education for X children.

thanks

When will the results be announced? I am wondering if we should tag along a year end campaign email with the results?

Guys (vivek/mukesh/rajesh) - can one of u call me at 98196-10871 in india. Lots of press in india on DSS workshop. Use for year end campaign. Mukesh - status???

Also, DNA did detailed interview with zankhana and rajani tai on DSS workshop. Expect a weekend edition publication. They will inform us.

Its happening folks!!!! Just like we wanted it too. We can blast a press story every 5 days one after another until the end of the year and use for year end campaign.

Dipika is collecting stories.

Ron.

Hi Mukesh,

We are announcing the results tomorrow night after the call.

This is exactly I have mentioned in my email last week that we can
launch the year end campaign with Kalakaar results but didn't get any
response :) I am not sure if Kalakaar team has the bandwidth to make
any changes now.

Thanks
Vivek

[Mukesh Mirchandani]

ok I must have missed that email, Sorry..

If you dont have bandwidth to make changes, please go ahead with your plans.

[Mukesh Mirchandani]

Yes, this is super exciting. Ron, I'll call you this evening. Can you please start an email conversation between dipika, me and tejeswi for the stories.

Arvind,

Do you think we can take the year end website live before then? The donate now button with the visual progress aid needs to be put in place. 

Target is 200,000$. Campaign end date - 1/31/2013.
