Awakening

Hello guys,

From today onwards we will be posting some information on funding for the NGOs, government and individuals for various charity activities. Also we shall be posting links to some useful news and information from other blogs. Please welcome to share your views and ideas freely

December 2012

End of the year month, a month of independence day, Christmas month and so many holidays to most working firms. But to us it was a beginning of the year month and most busiest too. According to the registrar of the NGO, the instructions require us to prepare an end of the year report and to us our first month is December and therefore we have to work on it.

We started publishing ourselves through various ways one of them being through MICHUZI blog. We got positive responses from two important people, Mr. Rodrick Maro from LHRC who contributed some publications to our library and Prof. Mbele from USA who also contributed some books. We really appreciate donation and we ask you to support us more whenever possible.

We went through internet too. There we got some successes and some challenges. Challenges includes the following; We contacted Better Books, They are from USA, they said, they are able to donate books filling the 40ft container, but shipping cost of that container from USA to my destination will be on my own, they said it ranges around US$10500. This was our stopping point, but we aimed to come back to them when we shall have that capacity.

Book Aid International were second in our list. They said they do not donate books directly to every beneficiary NGO or Institute but they do it through the organization that they work with in that particular country and in Tanzania mainland they are working with TLSB( Tanzania Library Service Board). We aimed to contact this board to see where shall we end.

Books Abroad also were in our list. They told us that they can donate some books to us but we have to fill the request form. We did it, though in that form it clearly explain that they receive a lot of requests and therefore filling the form does not guarantee that they will give you books. We played our part and we are waiting for their response.

Success stories of the month include the following; we asked for the membership in the Tanzania Library Association and they confirmed on our membership status in the coming month. I will explain more in stories from January.

It was in this month that we contacted British Council under BBC world class to ask for the twinning of schools from our region with other schools abroad. To this we have been connected with Achievers International and after a certain discussion we have been successfully joined one secondary school here in Pangani and the other from Georgia, Atlanta, USA.

We still have a number of stories to tell from December but let me end here for a while. Then we shall continue.

November 2012

This was the most historical month in our organization. It started with organizing constitution, looking for the required letters of recommendation from District Council offices and so many more so that we can go to the Ministry of Community Development Gender and Children for the registration.

To the Ministry also things went as usual, they reviewed our constitution and advice us to make necessary corrections, this meant going back to Pangani and make those corrections and come back again to Dar es Salaam to accomplish the task. We had no choice but to follow the instructions.

We had to wait a bit longer because we were out of pocket and the journey needed a bit higher fund so as to cover fare from Pangani to Dar es Salaam as well as registration fee. But after a longer wait rays of the shining sun started to appear and I’m sure Almighty God was saying to us keep it up, this month wont end before you accomplish your job.

On the 30^th, of November 2012, the last day in that month, I don’t forget it was Friday, we got our certificate of registration. I was so delighted to hold it, most of all I was saying to myself atlast we are now legally recognized as NGO and we are free to announce to the world that we are PANGANI INFORMATION ALLIANCE.

Success stories happened every month since inception

Hi everyone,
I will be giving out our success stories happened every month since the inception of our organization. We have not yet done a lot but atleast we have things to share with our followers.

Stories will begin from obtaining the registration, this is because it is the time we became legally capable of operating our activities. Though we strived much before that but lets narrate to others things that have vivid examples.

Also when we have something to tell you in between, we will absolutely do it. This as aimed will be our notice board where all things about us can be viewed here.

Welcome all.
