I am a long way from India but I would like to salute you and wish you success.

When I think about how to spread the word to potential volunteers near our project, I try to imagine who those people might be and how I can get the message to them. Are they members of a club, or studying practical subjects, or working in local engineering companies?

Maybe you could put up a sign in local shops that sell repair materials asking for volunteers? Or ask local community leaders to make an announcement in church, mosque temple or other group?

I hope these suggestions have some value even though our situations are different.

Kind regards

Good luck with it and please feel free to keep posting here if you’d like to chat about how to get something up and running :slight_smile:

Thanks for your suggestions! Our volunteers come from all walks of life. Every time we host repair-based programs, they step up and contribute their time and skills.
