RROMA was part of the training organized by the MTV Staying Alive Foundation in London. Facilitators of this training were the cool Gents and Ladies from Restless Development. We are really thankful for their sessions and time.
The Participants
The participants of this training were from Bangladesh, Poland, Russia, Pakistan, India, Egypt and of course Macedonia.
We had the opportunity to learn and share our experience on Organizational planning, Monitoring and Evaluation, Financial Management, Fundraising and Partnerships, Media and Marketing.
It was great to recap and learn something new about M&E tools, development of log frames, data-flow diagrams etc. Also, to get to know your donor and prepare yourself ahead.
We had the chance to watch a documentary called "Me, myself and HIV", as SAF grantees were the first to have a look at it. Some quote from the documentary "If you are positive, be positive, If you are negative, don't be negative!"
The last evening before our departure we attended a Reception in honor of all SAF grantees. At this reception we met SAF staff members, as well board members and donors. We had the chance to talk to all of them.
We left London with a lot of new experience and new friendships. We are glad to have met all of the wonderful people there.
The most important thing that we learn from the training ... planning, planning and always plan ahead.
