DETAILS OF OUR WORK AT SUN RISE GREEN PAK

LEARNT ABOUT THE ORGANIZATION:-

Our first day at Sun Rise Green Pakistan was spent while getting an orientation about the organization. We were told about the new seed campaign that Sun rise is working on these days. After getting a hold on to the activities of Sun rise we went to Pride Public School where we had a meeting lined up with the Principal. But we were told that the students have exams till mid April hence they would give us a date to conduct the seed campaign right after the exams are over.

SEED CAMPAIGN AT THE CITY EDGATE SCHOOL:-

Our first day for the seed campaign was at the City Edgate School in Johar Town. The teachers helped us gather the students of different grades one by one, around the green

5

belt in front of the school. Once they were all standing in the right directions, we briefed them what we were going to teach them about. And then we taught them how to place the seeds and later on a demonstration was made how to water them.

MEETING WITH PRINCIPAL AT PAKISTAN DEGREE COLLEGE:-

After our attendance at the head office of Sun Rise Green Pak, we went to Pakistan Degree College on Wahdat Road. We had a meeting with the Principal. After wait of a few minutes we met her. We briefed her about our NGO and our seed campaign by showing her the original certifications and snapshots which we carried in a file along with us. She was convinced with our idea and allowed us to go ahead with the seed campaign at their Masters campus on the 14th April, 2011.

MEETING WITH PRINCIPAL AT STANDARD COLLEGE:-

The next day again after marking our attendance, we headed towards Standard College for meeting with the Principal. We briefed him about our NGO and seed

6

campaign the same way and he allowed us to set a stall at both Girls and Boys campus on 21st April, 2011.

UPDATING OF THE WEBSITE:-

We were given tasks to perform at the head office of Sun Rise Green Pak. We worked on the website. We changed its outlay and also updated the snapshots with our City Edgate seed campaign.

SEED CAMPAIGN AT PAKISTAN DEGREE COLLEGE:-

We were given the time to start our seed campaign at Pakistan Degree College at 10:00 Am. We reached there on time. Here we set up our stall with banners, our files and the seeds. In college we decided to campaign different from the way we did at schools. Hence the 3 of us, gathered students after their lectures, briefed them about ourselves and our mission to make the country green. The response amongst the female students was more rather than the male students..

SEED CAMPAIGN AT THE IMPERIAL SCHOOL:-

We started the seed campaign at the Imperial school when the students were gathered in the ground by first briefing our organization profile and its aim for the society. Then the students varying from classes 1st -5th grade purchased the seeds from us

7

followed by a practical demonstration in the school lawn, practically explaining the simple seeding process to the students. The response from the students of this school was very good. The principal was very welcoming and she arranged tea and snacks for our team later on. We also gave students green ribbons for promoting our cause of making the country green.

SEED CAMPAIGN AT STANDARD COLLEGE (MASTER CAMPUS):-

At Standard College, we had to campaign both girls and boys. And because their campuses were separate, we split into 2 teams. Another volunteer group joined us too and so we managed to campaign for more than 5 hours both to the female students as well as the male students. As the interest already suggests, the response from female students has been better than that of the male students. Yet our team has made efforts for achieving our aim.

RECOMMENDATIONS:-

Following are our recommendations for Sun Rise Green Pakistan:

1. More varieties of vegetable seeds are recommended.

2. Seeds of different species of flowers would appeal more to people. Our

observation shows that there are a significant number of buyers of Vinca

flower seeds.

3. Natural alternative to hybrid seeds would add appeal to potential buyers who

are concerned related to health or re-growing of seeds.

4. Video instructions of kitchen gardening should be made in Urdu language.

Videos are a great way to demonstrate the techniques of gardening and

different stages of growth of plants.

5. Video CD’s of kitchen gardening techniques and tips should be sold as part of

the package. Most people own devices that can play these videos.

6. Laptop should be given to team for display of videos and slideshows on site.

7. Physical evidence in form of grown plants and vegetables in carry-able trays

should be brought up at sites.

8. Website should be made more interactive.

9. Scheduling and planning should be done in more formal and organized way.

10. Every team member should be given provided with relevant information in a

timely fashion.

11. SMS notification in an organized way can be used for information sharing to

all team members.

12. The NGO should do promotion to make itself more attractive to potential VIS

members at university; it should better explain their vision and make its goals

standout.

9

13. NGO should focus on girls’ schools and colleges, as the product appeals more

to girls.
