Emails, Emails, Emails!

Hi y'all!

The other week Rachel and I walked over to Valentines Park (Where we want to hold our festival) and had a brief chat about the layout and the way we're use the space. It's even more exciting now I've got an idea of what it'll look it in my mind's eye.

For the last couple of sessions I've been collecting information about our local MP's and Councillors within the Redbridge area and then sending them emails about who we are, what we do and to invite them to our Holi Festival. Lots of emails and copying and pasting!

The Mayor of Redbridge, Felicity Banks has already responded to my hand written letter saying she'd love to attend our festival which is great news! I love to see results :)

Until next time!

Brand New Office!

Hey guys,

For the last week I've been sick so haven't been able to come into the office, but I'm back now!

So far I've contacted several local newspapers on covering a story on the charity and the Holi Festival in March 2014. I've also contacted St John's ambulance on if they can supervise our event and drafted a letter to Ilford's local MP and the three local councilers for Redbridge to introduce our charity, our project and to get them on board.

I've also moved into our BRAND NEW OFFICE! The space is perfect and much closer to the station (Less walking for lazy me)

Busy busy busy!
Happy happy happy!

First Day

Hi there!

My name is Jessica and I'm the new Events Intern working with Basti Ram. I'll be assisting on the setup of the Holi Festival of Colours in Redbridge, Basti Ram's newest project in March 2014.

This blog will outline my progress working with the charity and of the event itself.

Tasks I've completed so far:

- Successfully located Rachael's house and settled into the office.
- Recieved my Action Plan
- Created a Gmail account and started this blog to record my progress.
- Had lunch. (Very important)

I feel very happy to be apart of something so amazing and I am looking forward to getting stuck in.

Watch this space!
