Kanchana,
You are right. My take is this on what every one of us is trying to do in and thru' WE CARE FOR CHENNAI.
My understanding is that, as of now, most WCFC members have an intelletual orientation to social and public issues. Many of the WCFCians won't have brushed shoulders in down-to-earth physical activities in public cause. (Let me if this observation is going to invite a trail of replies!) In other words, many of the WCFCians won't have had any or negiligible experience in hands-on social work. This includes active and long term campaigning kind of participation.
But then, there is no point in exhorting everybody to contribute at execution level of whatever plans we may have. A sharp planning mind, a mind to do the exposition, a mind to connect issues and present in a cogent-and-cohensive form and, more than everything else, a sincere mind to spend time in all these beyond-the-self activities itself CAN THEMSELVES BE GREAT PLUS POINTS. At the same time, we can also try our best to get down to work hands-on in executing at least in a few solid areas. We can also make TOKEN PARTICIPATION wherever possible.
The Internet is a bane and a boon, according to me. Anybody can say anything, commit anything and forget about anything on the internet, mostly in the DISCUSSION BOARDS. Internet group discussions have great limitations. There is nothing that is more saleable in the Internet than fun and excitement. Aware of this, I decided to make the WCFC board chats as light as possible.
Sacrifice of personal time in any public cause activity, on a continuous basis, has become scarce these days. The pressures on daily life have also increased tremendously. Thus, organization development, like what WCFC should be doing now, is bit of a long-drawn process. But the trouble and waiting should be worth, I believe.
We will meet shortly. I will make the posting today for a meet. Lets see how it goes.
