BOSF – Birds of same Feathers

BOSF – Birds of same Feathers

This is a platform for communication and co-operation between likeminded groups and individuals willing to share their activities, exchange views and ideas in serving the society.

The primary purpose of BosF is optimization - optimal utilization of time, resources, effort and money. No single individual or a single group can match the collective strength and reach. In order for us to leverage the skills, knowledge and availability of others, we created this platform.

Who can be members of BosF?

Anyone can become a member provided they have the interest. BosF is a public group. If one only wants to go through our mails/activities, one need not be a member. One can log on to: groups.google.com/group/birdsofsamefeathers and read the mails of interest.

If one wants to be active, participate in discussions, interested to share their experiences, guide, ask questions etc., one can opt to be a member.  If one can spare one or two days in a month for any activity that would be great. This is more of a request rather than a requirement.

Is there any membership fee?

There is no membership fee or any fee for that matter. Reading mails and responding to the ones of your choice is the only requirement for being a member.

Fund Raising

There will not be any fund raising through BosF in the sense there would not be any account created specially for BosF.

We raise funds but donate through one or other registered groups in BosF or send directly to the needy's account/institution etc.,

Success of BosF

Whenever a case is forwarded, some of us are doing reference check, some raise funds, some visit institutions (colleges, schools, hospitals etc.), some coordinate with the corresponding family members and some update the status.

Work distribution and a sense of togetherness is a very visible and evident success.
