Dear Friends,


This mail, may be firstof its kind in the last 12 years of our work, is 
not about what we aredoing or plan to do. (Please refer 
www.goonj.orgfor regular updates)


Here are 6 criticalrequirements, ways to engage to strengthen the work. 
Do read, revert, actand pass on the message to your friends, colleagues 
and relatives if youthink they can also join this movement!!


1. TEAM2000: It’s about bringing together a strong team of 2000people 
who contribute a sum of Rs. 10,000/- or more in a year.  (About$ 250 or 
just about Rs. 800/- a month) It’s NOT like an EMI or alifelong 
commitment. Give till you feel comfortable or trust thework.  Commit 
less or more…although we are looking for 2000people to commit Rs. 
10,000/- or more... Apart from taking care of majorregular expenses, 
the money will be used for growth, expansion and widerreplication.


We are sure that it isachievable and like all other initiatives of 
GOONJ, we want TEAM 2000 alsoto be driven by the volunteers.. do sign 
up, spread the word, talk topeople to join TEAM 2000.A simple form is 
enclosed giving the moneytransfer options. Contributions in India are 
tax exempted u/s 80G of ITact.


2.Vehicles: With the spread, transport cost has gone up and 
materialinflow at GOONJ is increasing. Pick up vans are an immediate 
need in Delhi,Mumbai, Hyderabad, Bangalore, Kolkata & Jalandhar (@ 
approx 4.5 lakhrupees). An Informal group, Focus India Forum from 
Singapore has just takencare of the vehicle in Chennai. Possible 
contacts with vehicle companies orto get the discounted rates are 
welcome.


3.Computers/laptops: For the past many years we havesomehow managed 
with the used lot of computers. Now when we are focusing onMIS, trying 
to use technology to maximize the potential, we need high end,good 
systems. Laptops are preferred as most team members spend a lot oftime 
in the field. Our requirement is of 25 Computers/laptops and 
7printers/photocopy machines .


4.Transport support: or linkages with transport companies to reachout 
material to hundreds of towns/villages across the country.
