Having been doing this for a number of weeks now, it is gradually coming together, however, it seems that every time I get progress, I subsiquently get a setback. In this case, it was rather ironic that when I had a set back yesterday, I was listening to music and what should come on but "What Doesn't Kill You Makes You Stronger" by Kelly Clarkson. It's probably true but at times, it can feel as though you aren't getting anywhere.
I am hopefully getting a few stories for the campaign in the next few days and I hope to hear back from Teesside University SU about being my partner organisation. Additional to that, I have to phone up my proposed venue and organize the showcase event for sometime soon. I now only have one volunteer so when I get back to college on Monday, aside from the tasks I have to do for the event, I will be going round college, trying to get some volunteers. On the other hand, it's arty people I need.
As much as this campaign is supposed to make a lasting and big impact, I am not sure whether, with college and other volunteering, I will be able to keep it up. It may end up being a pretty simple event in the end. On the other hand, I'm not giving up on the final campaign. I have a volunteer that has applied so I will follow that up over the next few days and hopefully, I should get some responses for stories.
As much as this may sound bad, I'm beginning to prefer my Oxfam volunteering to Team v. It's not that I don't enjoy Team v and the challenges it brings but sometimes, it can get a bit too much. It is a great experience though. Oxfam, despite having only started recently is more relaxed. Plus, I don't have to worry about working that round college work. On the other hand, I might as well make the most of both while I can. When I do have a confirmed date for my event, I will be sure to post it on here and those who can come, please do.
I will be keeping this up to date, however, as much as I would like to say I will always post, planning the campaign has to come first and before that, college work. Off topic but still kind of relevant, one of my fellow Team v Leaders, Uzma Chaudhry, has recently started a petition which I'm sure she would love you to sign. Here is the link and the petition is calling for action to stop MPs policing their own expenses. It's something that keeps coming back to haunt the world of politics but it's nearly on 96,000 signatures and if you all share it, I'm sure that within the coming days, it will get up to the required 100,000 for it to be debated in Parliament.
Overall, I think I'm getting back on track but it might just take a few more volunteering hours than usual. On the other hand, that doesn't matter, especially since I'm trying to meet last weeks record of 30 hours in a week. Wish me luck!
