A: Hello. India NGO Helpline. What is your emergency?
B: Hi. My team and I have been in a meeting over our monitoring and evaluation techniques but it seems it has gone for too long. Could you let us know what day and time it is?
A: Sir, it is the year 2083.
B: Oh Great! We can still wrap this meeting in some time.
A: Hello. India NGO Helpline. What is your emergency?
B: *breathing heavily* Please send someone immediately!
A: What happened? Could you please elaborate?
B: My boss rejected my digital fundraising idea but is making me run in a fundraising marathon. He said it will help gain more potential funders. I can’t feel my legs! Help!
A: You know that you don’t have to run in these marathons?
A: Hello. India NGO Helpline. What is your emergency?
B: Our corporate partner wants us to implement impact work in 100 villages in 100 days. How do I tell them that it is impossible?
A: Ah, the usual question. Send them to the nearest field without telephone connectivity for a ‘volunteer’ exposure visit….
B:...And leave them there?
A: Ideally, yes.
