1. Global Giving is an International online fund raising platform which provides NGOs a platform to list their projects and enables donors to contribute to a project of their choice. We are all geared up to participate in their September “Open Challenge” event where we need to raise over $5000 from 40 unique donors. We have set a target of raising $75000. If we clear the Open Challenge, we will be listed on the Global Giving website for two years during which time we can post new projects and continue raising funds for the same.Our Project “Helping Medical Students Become Better Doctors” (Click to view) aims to conduct Literature Search Workshops for under-graduate students so that the learn these skills early enough to make it a part of their professional routine.  Once the Challenge begins in September there will be different donation options ranging from $10 to $1000 and people can make their contributions. We hope that listing our project on global giving will provide an opportunity for QMed’s supporters living outside India, who always wanted to contribute but could not due to the logistical constraints.
2. Footsteps4Good is an initiative for NGOs to participate in a Marathon organized in Mumbai that is held on the 2nd of October every year. This year QMed is participating for the first time. We already have five supporters – Dr Bhavin Jankharia, Dr Amit Dang, Mr Rajeev Surana, Ms Varsha Ramdas and Mr P Sriganesh who have made their contributions and are going to represent QMed at the event. We are sure you will support us by participating in the event. After all, we are doing it for YOU!
   

Some good news to share

The Elsevier Foundation based in the US announces an “Innovative Libraries for Developing Countries” Grant Program, every year. This year QMed has got through the preliminary level of  selection and is sending out the proposal for the second level  by Sept 3, 2013. Do wish us the best, so that we can plan some special programs! If we win this grant, we will be doing programs on Searching the Cochrane Library along with an International Expert, in five zones in India. 

By participating in each of the above mentioned events, we hope to raise a substantial amount to help medical students and health professionals learn from us . This will help them deliver better healthcare for the Health of the People.
