One day or one night volunteering : Founder Experience

If your mother, father, wife, husband , daughter, son is in hospital and you spend time, you dont count hours. You dont count value of your time because life or the person in the hospital is invalueable.

But founder Sanjay Kumud Moreshwar Bapat had great experience. When he was in ICU, his wife went to BMC for school volunteering permission because of two things.
First is huband is in ICU. So you can to do anything.
Just sit out and pray or talk to relatives who have come.
Second thing is commitment to corporate for whom we were doing employee volunteering programme. Its not financial value of time but she equated Value with Responsibility.

Schoolmates, collegemates came to the hospital during night time because wife had responsibility to take care of his father and their two sons (one disabled and one just passed out school)

So if your friend or schoolmate or an unknown has cancer and is in hospital, parents will be proud if friends of their daughter or son in school days comeover and say they can stay with the patient. Take some rest.

That is why founder Sanjay Kumud Moreshwar Bapat has told his college mates that he can give 1 night stay if his friend or their parent is in hospital in Thane or Mumbai 4 times during every year (every 3 months) and can either donate blood or organise 1 bottle of blood anywhere in India (he will take care of the cost)

If 1 million do this (4 days a year), then it is 4 million nights in the hospital. Far better and bigger than 4 million dollars or rupees.

Volunteers are seen people as "Doing Time pass".
It is wrong thinking if volunteers do it with sincerity and not compulsion. But if volunteers do it just to take photos and share it with friends or whatsapp, then if one says they were doing "Time pass" then it is not only right but they waste time of the NGO with whom they were doing volunteering.
Ofcourse, taking photos is not bad. It maybe necessary if its corporate volunteering and it can certainly be a great way to promote volunteering by sharing photos because if you write 4 paras people will not read it but they can see 4 photos of you volunteering.

Tree plantation is far bigger than just taking a photo while you plant tree. You as a corporate or NGO as your partner or Government as your partner, must see ensure that the seed becomes tree. Again, equate it to your daughter or son. Your wife or life partner gives birth, doctors take care for just a few hours in the hospital. Dont you take care of the child. Right from birth, to schooling, youth and this means you take care till the child grows and is self reliant.
So equate tree plantation to this.
Its not a joke. We have experienced how tree plantation is seen more as a photo taking session rather than caring environment session.
