How Nonprofits Can Get Corporate Sponsors

www.RemoveHunger.com | The Help Me Foundation

Are you running short of funds to make your event a grand success? Do you intend to raise funds for your event? Do you want to learn the dos and don’ts while approaching sponsors? Then look at the below tips to get sponsored for your event. 

Dos and Don’ts while approaching your sponsors
Write down the list of network you already have.

• Approach the sponsors with an open mind. There could be initial rejections. But you need to pursue your objectives. 

• Be a good listener. Be mentally prepared for initial rejections. Initial rejections must raise your determination to work harder and smarter in raising the funds rather than getting dejected.

• Show them the benefits of sponsoring your event. Sell yourself. Working on such fund raising activities enhances your image and over a period of time you stand out from pack.

• Tell sponsors about your methodology of projecting and presenting their company.

• Take an appointment with potential sponsors and go with group of volunteers as it demonstrates your credentials.

• Approach if you have any references as it makes your task easier and enhances your credentials. 

• Show your sponsors if there are any tax breaks. 

• You need to be good at negotiation skills. Getting sponsorship needs lot of leg work and ground work. It requires patience and persuasive skills. 

• Don’t give false information in a hurry to raise funds. Be transparent in your approach as that builds your credibility. 


It is not that you are struggling to raise funds. In fact, the companies also look for right events to promote their brands and to have their presence felt in the market. It is win-win for both sponsors and the event hosts. 


Getting sponsorship is more challenging if you don’t represent a big company. Get inspired from previous volunteers who raised funds and move forward. The entire exercise enhances your negotiation skills and leadership skills. Indeed, it is a great learning experience to raise funds for your event.

EARTHQUAKE IN NEW ZEALAND

It has been reported that NEW ZEALAND is being hit by an earthquake today and reportedly 65 people were killed in this earthquake.The 6.3 magnitude earthquake hit the country's second-largest city around lunchtime, collapsing buildings and sending bricks and other heavy debris toppling into busy city streets.It was the second earthquake that hit the country within last five months .



Christchurch one of Mayor Bob Parker declared a state of emergency and ordered people to evacuate the city center. Troops were deployed to help people get out and to throw up a security cordon around the stricken area.





China bans searches for 'Egypt' on web

In another era, China's leaders might have been content to let discussion of the protests in Egypt float around among private citizens, then fizzle out. 

But challenges in recent years to authoritarian governments around the globe and violent uprisings in parts of China itself have made Chinese officials increasingly wary of leaving such talk unchecked, especially on the Internet, the medium some officials see as central to fanning the flames of unrest. 

So the arbiters of speech sprang into action over the weekend. Sina.com and Netease.com -- two of the nation's biggest online portals -- blocked keyword searches of the word "Egypt," though the mass protests were being discussed on some Internet chat rooms on Monday. Searching for "Egypt" has also been blocked on Weibo, the Chinese equivalent of Twitter. 

Censoring the Internet is not the only approach. The Chinese government has also tried to get out ahead of the discussion, framing the Egyptian protests in a few editorials and articles in state-controlled news publications as a chaotic affair that embodies the pitfalls of trying to plant democracy in countries that are not quite ready for it -- a line China's leaders have long held.

Finally Kasab is sentenced to death, Bombay HC accepted


The Bombay High Court has upheld the death sentence awarded to Ajmal Amir Kasab, the only Pakistani terrorist caught alive during the November 26, 2008 attack on Mumbai. The High Court upheld the lower court's order completely and found Kasab guilty of seven murders including the killings of senior Mumbai Police officials Hemant Karkare, Ashok Kamte and Vijay Salaskar.
"This is rarest of rare matter so he should face capital punishment. Kasab and Abu Ismail together killed 56 people," the two-judge division bench comprising justices Ranjana Desai and RV More observed while dismissing an appeal filed by Kasab challenging the death sentence by Special Judge ML Tahaliyani in May 2010.
Kasab made his fourth appearance in the High Court through teleconferencing on Monday wearing a white kurta with his head down. The entire proceeding lasted for just a few moments before the court pronounced its verdict.
While upholding Kasab's death sentence the High Court also dismissed Maharashtra Government's appeal against acquittal of Fahim Ansari and Sabauddin Ahmed in its 1208-page judgement. Fahim and Sabauddin were accused of preparing maps of Mumbai and giving them to alleged Lashkar-e-Toiba operatives. Maharashtra government has decided to appeal against the acquittal of the duo in the Supreme Court.
Sabauddin's lawyer Ejaz Naqvi said that Kasab wanted the death penalty.
"What is important is that Kasab wanted death penalty. He has got it. Kasab was smiling today and looked that he was confident of getting the capital punishment," said Ejaz Naqvi.
Kasab has been sentenced to death for attacking Mumbai on November 26, 2008 along with nine other Pakistani terrorists and killing 166 people. He was found guilty of 80 offences, including waging war against the nation, which is punishable with the death penalty.
Tahaliyani on May 6, 2010 gave 22-year-old Kasab death sentence on five counts of murder, conspiracy to murder, waging war against the country, abetting murder and indulging in terrorist activities.
Kasab was also awarded life imprisonment on five other counts, which included attempt to murder, criminal conspiracy and violation of the Explosive Substances Act.
While convicting him on June 3, the judge had ruled that Kasab was guilty of directly killing seven people and a total of 59 with associate Abu Ismail, who was shot dead after running into a police picket at Girgaun Chowpatty early on November 27 - shortly after the terror attack began in Mumbai on November 26 night.
His conviction was based on CCTV footage showing him striding across the Chhattrapati Shivaji Terminus with an AK-47 and a backpack.
The 60-hour audacious attack began on the night of November 26, 2008 and went on till the afternoon of November 29. Only Kasab was captured alive while the other nine terrorists were killed in the gunfight with security forces.

Incredible India- Pamban Bridge


Pamban Bridge also known as Annai Indira Gandhi Bridge is the longest sea bridge in India. The 2.3 km long bridge on the Palk Strait connects Rameswaram island to mainland India. The railway bridge is noted for its unique opening to let the ships pass through the sea. The bridge was opened for traffic in 1914. Bridge contains vertical lift section, which is still functioning well.

It carries meter gauge trains on it. However, the Indian Railways is upgrading it to carry broad gauge trains. The scenery around the bridge is breathtaking. The view of the distant sea and the string of islands on the left of Pamban island is simply awesome.

Sensex slips from morning highs

wwww.removehunger.com The 30-scrip sensitive index (Sensex) of the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), which opened at 18,564.08 points, was ruling at 18,440.86 points, down 65.96 points or 0.36 percent from its previous close at 18,506.82 point

First Law Of Thermodynamics

                                                          www.removehunger.com

Thermodynamics is the science of energy conversion involving heat and other forms of energy, most notably mechanical work. It studies and interrelates the macroscopic variables, such as temperature, volume and pressure, which describe physical, thermodynamic systems.
First law Of Thermodynamics states that ENERGY CAN NEITHER BE CREATED NOR BEDESTROYED,ONLY ALTER IN FORM (i.e from one form to other like kinetic energy to potential energy).
First Law can be constructed to be the statement of CONSERVATION OF ENERGY.
First Law for CLOSED PROCESS CYCLE:
When a closed system undergoes a cycle then the sum of heat interactions is equal to the sum of work interactions.
               Mathematically;   Q(1-2)+Q(2-1)=W(1-2)+W(2-1)

                                OR;   Q(1-2)-W(1-2)=W(2-1)-Q(2-1)
                                OR;    [Q(1-2)-W(1-2)]+[Q(2-1)-W(2-1)]=0
                                OR;    [Q(1-2)-W(1-2)]-[Q(1-2)-W(1-2)]=0
Since, the diffrence Q-W remains constant as long as initial and final states are same(i.e position 1 & 2).The diffrence depends only on the end points of the process .Note that Q&W are path functions i.e depends upon the path follwed by the process.But their difference does not.This implies the difference between the heat and work interactions during a process is a PROPERTY of the system and this property is called the ENERGY of the system.
Therefore we can demonstrate first law for a closed process as;
                                           Q-W=E
                          E consists of ------U+K.E+P.E

                             
                               
For an ISOLATED system which does not interact with surroundings Q=0 and W=0.Therefore, E remains constant for such a system.

WFP Global Hunger Stats


Every year, authors, journalists, teachers, researchers, schoolchildren and students ask us for statistics about hunger and malnutrition. To help answer these questions, we've compiled a database of useful facts and figures on world hunger.

GLOBAL HUNGER

  • 925 million people do not have enough to eat - more than the populations of USA, Canada and the European Union;
    (Source: FAO news release, 14 September 2010)
  • 98 percent of the world's hungry live in developing countries;
    (Source: FAO news release, 2010)
  • Asia and the Pacific region is home to over half the world’s population and nearly two thirds of the world’s hungry people;
      (Source: FAO news release, 2010)
  • Women make up a little over half of the world's population, but they account for over 60 percent of the world’s hungry.
    (Source:  Strengthening efforts to eradicate hunger..., ECOSOC, 2007)
  • 65 percent  of the world's hungry live in only seven countries: India, China, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Pakistan and Ethiopia.
    (Source: FAO news release, 2010)

CHILD HUNGER

  • More than 70 percent of the world's 146 million underweight children under age five years live in just 10 countries, with more than 50 per cent located in South Asia alone;
    (Source: Progress for Children: A Report Card on Nutrition, UNICEF, 2006)
  • 10.9 million children under five die in developing countries each year. Malnutrition and hunger-related diseases cause 60 percent of the deaths;
    (Source: The State of the World's Children, UNICEF, 2007)
  • The cost of undernutrition to national economic development is estimated at US$20-30 billion per annum;
    (Source: Progress for Children: A Report Card on Nutrition, UNICEF, 2006)
  • One out of four children - roughly 146 million - in developing countries are underweight;

NO SPACE TO KEEP FRESH WHEAT


Last year tonnes of wheat was destroyed as there was no space to keep that wheat .Now again this year our goverment is still not prepared.In April-May, a fresh crop of wheat will be ready for harvest: Roughly 140 lakh metric tonnes. Food Corporation of India will buy about 70% of the produce but the question is where will it store the wheat? 
Already, it has kept 50 lakh metric tonnes of wheat out in the open for lack of space in its storages.Goverment said last year that 70 lakh metric tonnes of storage would be created in Punjab alone in two years.

One year has passed but goverment has only managed to create space for 13 lakh metric tonnes of grains.Now where will the wheat go it will get destroyed obviously like last year.
On the other hand Pawar(union agriculture minister) said there is no free wheat for poor people.Pawar ji please use that wheat for power people 
                   PLEASE ! PLEASE! SAVE THAT WHEAT AND HELP POOR
