September Update

Hi All,

Belated Teachers day wishes to all the Micro-Volunteers !!

Maybe you just corrected them or gave them new words to use or tried to keep the conversation going to give them more practice.. Any small thing you did, you played a teacher , never mind that it was only for 15 mins, Happy Teachers Day!! :)

-This time we received on an avg 3-5 calls per hour.

In total approx 100 calls on last weekend.

-To cut costs, I have taken the 1 yr Unlimited Toll free offer from Ziffy for 42k.
There will be no cost per min of the call bur It limits a call to 10 mins. The call will disconnect automatically after 10 mins. (I will try to increase this limit to 15 mins)

-Thanks to the article and Volunteers who spread the msg, we have close to 50 Micro-Volunteers now ! That's wonderful to grow this initiative and serve more people.

As the number is high and presently our call line allows only 1 call at a time, Some volunteers might not get any calls on a weekend.

Work is on to handle more calls at a time.

-New volunteers, please go through the links given below before you take any calls this weekend. 

We have a good number of volunteers now and I think each will get to handle at the most, 1 call, unlike last weekend where people had to handle many many calls for 30mins - 2 hrs.

Some general info :

-Lots of calls maybe waiting while you are on a call, please ignore them, till you complete atleast 10 mins of conversation.

Regards
