Over the past few weeks I've been slowly chipping away at the business plan. There are about 12 pages written with hours and days of work to go.
I have the basic premise and outline roughed out but will need feedback from those around me as much as possible.
Right now I am planning a 5 year approach to starting foster care in North India. This is just the beginnings of the action steps up to year 2. My hope is that the 'pre-planning' year is really a pre-planning-couple-months. Many of my ideas might be too ambitious, but I have to start somewhere right?
ACTION STEPS – 5 year project (including a planning year)
Pre year one goals (planning year):
Secure funding for year 1. (see estimated costs).
1 FTE (research, interviews with orphan children) (Udaipur native)
1 PTE (me) supervisor, project manager, while working for Seva Mandir to learn more about Indian culture.
