Second Meeting [Informal] of @tfcNepal at Bhrikutimandap. May 28, 2011

There were two main issues to be addressed on todays meeting held at #Bhrikutimandap

Discussion A:

@cbidhya raised an issue if we could help the people in the street who lack the basic needs to living due to their physical and/or mental disabilities lying in the streets fighting deaths. Its a vast issue to take the social responsibilities and help them to rehabilitate in the society back.

Thanks to @ishzz @AnandNepal @cbidhya @acharya14 and @friendycalls for taking part in the discussion in the draft below prepared by @cbidhya

Draft plan for TFC Nepal's project:

Idea: To support the treatment of mentally/physically disable street people.

In the hot summer they are wrapping their body with woolen sweater adding quilt and just vice versa thin cloths with some of their body part exposed in chilly cold, some are seen conversing with themselves and making laugh at oneself . Their family might be the sufferer in their absence ,or  they might be fetching them around or who knows they might add a corner in our family too. From the time immemorial we have been seeing the activities formulated to support for the street children, victims of  conflict and violence against women , handicapped and many more. But if we tend to hunt for these people then our goal to explore such organization becomes worthless. So, if TFC initiate this work then some organization might caught an eye and help further and give continuity to this project, which would definitely match up our expectation for fulfilling the ultimate goal of this project. Our little support can lead towards the happiness and those people's recovered smiles could be our assets.  Together we can bring the smile on faces. Goodluck to us.....

Q: How can we start?Proposed Plan:

1. Identify the group to support for the first phase (women , youths , old ages).

2. We have to discuss on how many numbers or handful of people can we choose at the starting level.

3. Choosing the area to implement the plan.

4. Would be easier if we will get support from the local security office to identify and fetch them such people to the hospitals. They also do have statistics of such people living in different parts of the city so we can take idea-support from them as well.

5. Working out for the hospital (the administration to which we need to convince about our mission, group, plans and all others and should ask for the co-ordination.)

6.  We have to convince the hospital administration to admit and take care of those people who are brought there by the police from our identified area. Linkage in-between the hospital administration and   local security is the most.

7. Once hospital would agree to take the admission I don't think we need to go to the hospital in daily basis..as far as I know such patients are not allowed to see visitors very often....but if anyone wants they can visit.

8. As we know mental illness is something that might/might not be cured. So we have to prepare for the failure as well. But most of the doctor said that they would be good if they will be treated well and could at least in the level to conduct their work by themselves.  For those who do have their home and family can re-unite but we have to think for those who don't have anywhere to go. So for such people we have to find out some rehabilitation center.

We (#tfcnepal) will just act as facilitator with three main bodies to support the underpriviliged people namely 1. Police personnel 2. Medical institutions 3. Rehabilitation centres. As we have positive responses from all of them, i think we can. Despite there might be a shortcoming about our legality (#tfcnepal's persistance) i feel like unity is the greatest strength of all, we might be able to describe our pure motto of humanity with the personnels too. Together We Can.

We have similar organisations helping the street people in simillar issues. Can we talk with some of these links.

We have come up with some of positive outcomes from the meeting [informal] held today, 28^th May 2011 at #Bhrikutimandap. From the issues initiated by @cbidhya about offering our helps to extremely under previliged sufferee in the society lying on streets on extreme povert conditions, unfaciliated by very normal necessities of a common living, and/or deprived from the basic medical facilities and being suffered by extreme natural conditions and seeking for minimal human requirements.  We will not be seeking the subjects, while will be taking in considerations of such case especially focused on young street children, who have not yet been offered by any means of helping hands over them. We will be preliminarily surveying for sampling of such one or two cases in the first stage as to initiate our step towards it. We'll be very much cautious in choosing the cases as for no any subjects who have already been proved a betrayal from such offers of rehabilitating them in some centres, as there have been such cases of runaway for freedom. For this @acharya14 as being a medical officer will be summarizing the data of such cases. And with his personal contacts with police personnels around his workplace, we have chosen Sanepa area for the initiation of the deed. It is noted that, if we find the initiative as something verymuch beyond our limits to rehabilitate such subjects, we'll be bound to abandon the initiative. This is to say that we'll not be continuing the support in the same cause. For this @cbidhya has personally deposited NRs 5000 to #tfcNepal's account and has promised to work for it self voluntarily, which is indeed a very positive initiative. We, tfcNepal are proud to have such member dedicated for the society up-fitments and we are dedicated for it.

Discussion B:

The next issue of publishing the official T-shirt of #tfcNepal was discussed on the meeting, for which we have concluded to print the official T-shirts, and providing it to the interested members with certain fees which if exceed the printing cost will be transferred to the tfcNepal's account. The print design will be published soon and colour should be choosen within some 2-3 alternatives. So, members who are interested to buy one, are requested to send a DM to @tfcNepal, so that we can be prepared with the number of T-shirts to be printed.
