We are fellows of the Deshpande Fellowship Program, we conducted fund raising event on 29, Dec at Gaddankeri village, Bagalkot (Dist) about "Gokarnada Goudashani" from prisoners to help HIV infected children for their education. The participants across from Gaddankeri, Gaddankeri cross Gaddankeri Thanda, Mrunal, Seemikeri and Tulasigeri and also in this Drama more than 1200 people participated and first time happened at Bagalkot district.

We called to prisoners for conducting drama. The prisoners supported us to promote education to the HIV infected children. They also gave financial support to the organizer. Before going to organize an event we discussed with the gaddankeri, gaddankeri Tanda, Seemikeri, Tulasigeri, Gaddankeri crass and Bagalokot citizens. And we gave information about the event and HIV infected children. The people also supported us to conduct an event and also they supported with financially. The gaddankeri people were co-operating with our team, really fundraising event has gave lots of experience us to conduct an event.


We went for raise fund through the GroupWise. Every day we made group  and we kept each group two members. Every day we have faced so many problems and also we have taken all problems as a challenging, at end of the every day, we discussed with the all  groups. At  discussion, we gave opportunity for share their learning , what are the challenges they faced, how much fund they collected and how was the co-ordination with group and we gave feedback to all the groups for how  to approach to the funders and how to take all negative thoughts as a positive thoughts.

 For raising fund we have selected cause to promote education and basic needs of HIV infected children. Because Bagalkot district has so many HIV people. Children’s has got HIV infect from their parents. Who has got HIV infect, they were not getting education and basic needs. Therefore, we selected this cause for giving education support to them. Through the conducting this event, we have learnt lots of things. We have learnt organize an event, convincing to the people, know the value of money, Managing of Accounts, gathering crowd, team work, approaching to the funders, distributing work to groups, patience and along with learning we have faced some challenges also for  organizing an event and Raise Fund.
