Omprakash Grant Third Report print story

August 29, 2012

Voluntario Global, Argentina

With the help of Omprakash in 2011, we continue to grow.

It is often difficult for a just-started or small organization to receive financial support from national or international organisms.
Without a solid background or a celebrity to back you up, it is difficult to generate confidence.

Moreover, it is true that small cooperatives have more chances of failure because they learn from experience and have minimal or no planning. However, some institutions and organizations focus on "getting to know the people who carry out the project", and they evaluate from there the feasibility for providing funding.

That "seed" and trust has dual merit because it is not just money, but a motivating force to stimulate potential and commitment. It is for this reason that those who first believed in our commitment and said "go on" are those who "opened the door" that allows us to grow.

This introduction is part of the "Quarterly Report of the Omprakash Foundation Grant." Omprakash Foundation trusted us and said "please, go on" and "opened a door" that has allowed us to continue growing.
