IF YOU ARE ........

For our International Volunteers

IF YOU Want to Volunteer: ;

    • Be a part of our team; inform people, widen our network, help us organise collection camps.

    • If you can spare some time, wherever you are you can spread awareness even on the phone/email. Talk to your colleagues, friends, neighbours and relatives about GOONJ’s ..work.

    • Spare a small space in your home/office twice a year (for a week) as a centre for our special collection drives. Better still, can you spare this space as a permanent GOONJ collection centre?

    • Approach the school, college or professional institute that you were/are a part of, for a collection drive and long-term partnership with us.

Following is a list of options for people from all walks of life !!

IF YOU ARE -

  • An Organisation/Corporate:
    Motivate your employees/colleagues to join in our efforts.

    Initiate a collection drive in your organisation where employees can bring in their unwanted but re-usable material for GOONJ..
    You can also support us financially/sponsor any of our activitiesDonate your old newspapers, one-side-used-paper on a monthly basis.

    Support us with new/old office automation equipment like computers, printer Photostat machine & office furniture.
  • A Potential Sponsor:
    Sponsor our camps, events, products and administrative expenditure. Often we are forced to incur huge costs on short-lived activities like collection camps or 2-3 day events. This becomes a monetary problem for us as GOONJ.. is a small organisation with limited funds. Even printing a catalogue is a pocket-pinching exercise for us. We thus appeal to any individual/organisation that would like to help us out. We would be happy to give a line of credit to the sponsor in our promotional material.
  • A Business House/Exporter:
    What do you do with your non-saleable/surplus material ? (for e.g. cloth, garments, footwear, stationary, toys, books, utensils, furniture etc.)
    Instead of throwing it away, you can give it to GOONJ... We re-use and re-distribute this or based on your permission, sell it to raise funds. This creates an environmental-friendly and socially responsible channel for the disposal of your wastage. Financial contributions (big/small) are also welcome to help spread the impact of our initiatives to a larger area.
  • A Bank:
    As a high activity public area, Bank premises are convenient and safe spaces for collection of material and a good forum to create awareness about our activities.

  • A School/College/Professional Institute:
    Educational institutions have always been a great forum to initiate collection drives, especially for ‘SCHOOL to SCHOOL’ and RAHAT. A chance to talk to your students to sensitise and motivate them will go a long way in supporting education in rural schools.
  • A Donor/Funding Agency:
    Support us monetarily for any of our initiatives like Vastra-Daan, ‘SCHOOL to SCHOOL’, Rahat, ‘Not Just a Piece of Cloth’ and help us widen our spread.
  • An NGO:
    Help us to reach people in need of support across the country. Join us an implementation partner. In the last 7 years this group has grown to over 100 agencies in 16 different states.
  • An R.W.A.:
    Like many R.W.A.s working with us, you can also organise regular collection drives in your area of administration. You can also organize monthly newspaper collection drive in your colony
  • A Transporter:
    Transportation of material to various parts of the country is always a logistical problem. It would be of great help to us if you could reduce our burden a little bit by helping us reach some of these places for distribution of material. The way Safexpres/Transolutions have come forward to transport material free of cost to 3 states.
  • A Doctor:
    Give us a few of your extra medicines/samples for distribution among those who cannot afford them but need them.
  • A Media Person:
    For a greater impact, reaching out to the right people is a must; you can help us here simply by accessing your network!
  • An IT Professional:
    Take out a little time and share your knowledge with us. Guide us in managing our database and strengthening our administrative systems
  • A Factory Proprietor:
    We are in constant need of packaging material to dispatch large quantities of utility items. You can solve this perpetual problem by giving us your old/used gunny bags and cartons.
  • A Stationary User:
    Use Goonj products developed from waste paper - various kinds of writing pads of one-side-used-paper and carry bags made from newspapers & magazines, which provide a suitable alternative to hazardous polythenes.
  • A Book Lover:
    If you are fond of reading then you must explore our vast medley of second-hand books in all kinds of area and help us raise funds. You can also donate your old books for this purpose.
  • A Theatre Person:
    Theatre, by all means is a powerful medium of generating awareness and stimulating thought on important issues. You can facilitate an out-reach programme using your theatrical skills to sensitise the public about our work (through street-plays etc.).
  • A Shopkeeper:
    Join us by using paper/cloth or jute bags, made by us instead of polythene
