You must have known what The KTM Drive is till now if you have been a part of my blog posts (Paradiso). If not, it is really simple; we are a group of professionals working on social cause events twice every month. The events are super fun and since each drive is different than the previous, we try giving our best to the society in various ways. The best part about it is the members keep changing in each event, as it is not compulsory for anyone. Whoever can make it to the event comes for it and whoever cannot tries coming for the next. After each event there is a different level of satisfaction that each one of us experience and we look forward for the next one. The activities have taught each one of us making it a learning experience. The day leaves an impact on our lives and changes an outlook that we have towards life. With all of these, we have gotten many blessings as we have spread smiles in the lives of hundreds of individuals.
Initially we sponsored our own events, but now we have individuals wanting to contribute for our events. Since their physical presence is missing, they have been helping us in the monetary level. These are people whom we do not know personally yet they want to be a part of our events. The best part that they think is how our events are run and our accounts transparent. For the people who don’t have an idea:- We prepare a budget, flow it on the social networking sites and are contacted through different greeners all around. It is encouraging to get positive responses, messages and notes from people on the events of The KTM Drive. We are done with 43 events till date and love how people have been a part of this group around the world.
Among all of this there have been times when there are volunteers who have asked us if we provide a letter of social work if they work with us. That’s when we realize that The Ktm Drive is so much than a piece of paper says. It is always surprising to see the mindset of people. We are happy to be an unregistered organization and loving the way it is being run. There is a reason when people ask us on why we aren’t getting it registered as we are about to complete three years. The simple answer is because we work a little differently, we do not want to be concentrating in one field and would want to work in the form structure that we have created without compliance and reports.
So the other day we had a meeting with an organization for conducting an event at their institution. They asked us on why are we not planning on a long term basis and focusing on a few people to change their future rather than many. This has been a thought which has been running on my mind since a long time but the only answer that I have for this is; we believe in spreading joy and happiness even if it is for a shorter time because we are doing it from our heart. If we were to think about long term we would have taken up one field and started a company for non profit. Since all of us are working in our own fields we want to keep it this way and for focusing on a particular area, there are many organizations that are established already. We are dedicated volunteers who love what we do and want to inspire, motivate, and learn on our way.
While I say this, we are proud of THE KTM DRIVE and each person being involved with it directly or indirectly as it has reached such heights with an amazing team. What do you think about the group conducting different activities each time as it has been running?? Have you been inspired by us in any way? If yes, let us know how and with that, you are always welcome for any of our events and giving ideas.
