APPLICATION BOOKLET 2016-2017

NOTE FROM YOUR FELLOW

Hello, beautiful souls, I'm Pluto. Alternatively, you can call me Paul Finney. I have 5 different sets of introductions.

But in context to MAD, I am one of the PR fellows for the year 2016-2017.

Do you want to know who I am?

Sure.

Actually, I can go on and write more but none of that matters.

What matters are the problem statements that we deal with here at MAD. Human stories from around us in this beautiful journey of being a MADster matter. You matter. I am on a personal journey of exploring stories, living a few. Reading, writing, sketching, capturing and sharing with everyone as I go.

I remember Author Maya Angelou capturing this idea best when she said, “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

This year, Aditi and I, share with the PR Team of MAD Bangalore a greater vision. I invite you to be a part of our vision where we become storytellers. We'll create human-centric designs, empathy based content, indulge in a progressive and a bold new approach to storytelling.

Remember, what we do here at PR becomes the cornerstone of this organization.

Here's your invitation to be deeply human.

Brave today!

Hello, you! I'm Aditi, but there are too many of us, so you can call me Diti or Rao. I'm one of the PR fellows for Make a Difference, Bangalore.

One of the very first memories I have of MAD was not shaped by my experience as a volunteer, but by the stories I heard and the pictures I had seen. I have always believed that words and visuals hold a strange sort of power. They are important tools of change, and with each story I heard, and with each video I saw, I remember feeling increasingly inclined to join those who were part of this movement.

Over the last three years that I've spent volunteering with MAD, I saw this happen repeatedly. Every time I read something powerful, or saw a Dream Camp video, for instance, I felt motivated to better myself and work harder to give these children my best. I saw this change me, as I saw it change others around me.

Everybody around us has a story, an arc that has driven them to this point, a set of experiences, thoughts and ideas that make them tick. This year, we seek to explore these sides of everybody, and their experiences as a part of this large movement; we seek to unearth the shades of their personalities that make them who they are. After all, in the end, we are all made of stories, and yours is the one that could make a difference to somebody else.

There is magic in PR. To capture the feeling of a child's smile in a picture, or the warmth of their hug in a few words is not a simple task. But that's where you can come in. Three years ago, I saw a picture that urged me to #caremore. Now imagine your words, your vision have that sort of an effect on someone.

Join us in this exploration storytelling as tool to move, shake and affect people. Join us in this journey of storytelling like never before.
