Action Items
“Just Do Something!” states Volunteer Ahmedabad, Indicorps’ local volunteering initiative. On every Sunday, groups of 25 local young people are out on the streets and at poular hangouts in Ahmedabad, taking up their own challenge. Tired of just complaining about garbage on the streets, these volunteers are doing whatever it takes to build the simple habit of throwing trash in the can. As part of Volunteer Ahmedabad’s weekly “Action Items,” volunteers are picking up trash, speaking with local vendors, rallying new volunteers, performing street plays and providing trash cans, all in an attempt to instill a sense of repsonsibity for our collective society.
Indicorps invites you to take up the same challenge, wherever you might be: (1) Get any size group of people together, perhaps friends or family, (2) Pick a regular time every week, month, or two months, (3) Set out with your hands and your heart towards small wins that make your community better.
