introduction 介绍

This is a public welfare project that donates mosquito nets to kids in Africa who suffer from malaria. It is a project that we did in “Bigger Than Me”, which took only 48 hours. We did a fundraise and will use the money to buy malaria-prevention mosquito nets and donate them to the children in Africa who suffer from malaria. We used WeChat Moments as one way to fundraise and sold pasta and our talents such as coffee making and manicure as another way to fundraise. With people’s help we raised 12155.22 RMB in less than 24 hours. The money was then transferred into Jessica Wang’s fund and will be used to buy mosquito nets. Our driving question was “How to develop a teenager public welfare project’s sustainable design?”. Under this driving question, we are separated into three smaller groups – scheming, propagating and fundraising. I joined the scheming team with Aimee Du and Kira Ding. We decided that our outcomes were going to be a document explaining the steps to build a sustainable public welfare project and a poster board that visualizes the document. There are totally 10 steps to build a public welfare project and we also provided a chart that can help you iterate your project. 

这是一个给非洲受疟疾困扰的儿童捐赠蚊帐的公益项目。我们共同的期待是希望通过公益项目关注到弱势群体以及身边的环境和人。组员王若卿因有丰富的做公益的经验和捐助渠道,因此成为了本次项目的组长并且和我们一起发起了“生命蚊帐”项目。在Bigger Than Me的活动中,我们仅用了48小时就筹到了12155.22元善款捐赠给王若卿的基金会用于购买大约405顶蚊帐并且产出了如果做一个可持续的公益项目的流程。我们通过微信朋友圈和卖技能的方式在24小时内众筹,其中我筹到了5246.1元。

我们的驱动问题是:如何在48小时内筹够6000元?如何推进一个公益项目的可持续设计?在这个问题之下我们被分成了3个小组,分别是策划项目,传播与影响力和筹款分析。

我加入的策划组最终的产出是一个有关搭建可持续公益项目步骤的展板,和一个配套的详细的说明书。它总共包含了10个步骤——发现持续社会问题,组织团队,生成驱动问题,愿景和目标,研究,Plan,搞成,结果,发现问题,迭代,并且附带了一个帮助你迭代项目的工具表格。由于我和我的策划团队主要的贡献是项目搭建与流程,因此我们调查并学习了项目管理及其可持续发展的因素和一小部分疟疾相关知识。

experience 体验

At first our driving question was “How to fundraise 6000 RMB within 48 hours?”. We focused too much on how to get money that we forgot about our project is not only about fundraising. We achieved this goal too early that we didn’t know what to do after. Therefore, after hours of discussion, we made a new driving question: “How to develop a teenager public welfare project’s sustainable design?”. And then, we followed this driving question from three different aspects – scheming, propagating and fundraising. I was part of the scheming group. The collaboration between me and my teammates went smoothly, because we divided the amount work equally and we all finished our work before the deadline. There was no argument and we gave each other feedback for improvement. I learned about collaboration, project management and the ways to spread malaria. 

一开始我们的驱动问题是“如何在48小时内筹够6000元?”。项目开始的当晚我们就众筹达到了目标,因此我们对于提前完成任务都手足无措。第二天上午经过几个小时的讨论,我们最终决定以搭建项目为中心,并且从策划,传播和筹款三个角度来分析一个公益项目。后来我们各自在小组内工作,只是偶尔会有大组开会,然后汇报每一组的进程。我和其他两位策划组成员决定最终以一个展板的形式呈现项目搭建步骤,并配套一个说明书附以更详细的解释。

我主要学习到了项目管理的知识。根据研究,项目管理大致分为5个步骤即启动,计划,实施,监控和收尾。受到这5点的启发,我们将其细化成了10个步骤。其中我收获最大的是时间把控——我不想耽误小组的进度,所以灵活调整时间完成了所有ddl。我认为做一个公益项目的管理最重要并且最难的一步就是监控。在这个项目中我们需要监控资源和费用,项目进度和人员表现,并且对于任何变化采取有效的措施。

self-reflection 反思

In the Mosquito Net of Life project, my biggest growth is collaboration. I was not good at collaboration, because I will always set a really high standard for myself, and if others in my team didn’t meet that standard, I will want to do the work for them and I will be angry if their finished work did not meet my standard. In this project, I forced myself to follow what everybody else thinks and try their plans. It turned out to be very good, and I also felt the joy in collaboration. I asked my teammates to give me feedback, and they said I improved on my collaboration skills. However, there are still areas for improvements. When I felt like I can lead a discussion, I did not. I should be braver to be a leader and step out of my comfort zone. I should also do more research so that our artifact is more trustworthy and more objective. Hopefully in the next time I can have better energy and do my work more efficiently! 

在“生命蚊帐”项目中,我的团队合作能力有显著提升,经历和情绪管理也有提升。以前我不认为我有很好的团队合作能力,因为我对自己和团队的期望太高。当结果没有达到我期待的样子时,我就会对自己和团队无比失望。而在这个项目中我最大的进步就是克服了这个心理暗示,当我不去设置对自己的团队的高标准时,我感觉压力变小了,因此我会花更多的时间倾听别人的想法并执行它们。到最后我为团队感到骄傲而不是对自己不满。另外,当团队发生意见不一致时,我会主动协调并且最后以一个尽量公平的方法决定。

不足的地方是,我仍然没有迈出舒适圈挑战leader的角色。有些时候我觉得我可以了,但是又没有挑战自己,于是一直没有锻炼自己当leader的能力。以及我没有深入了解疟疾,如果能深入的了解疟疾的原理和影响应该能更好的和受疟疾困扰的人们共情。希望下一次我可以勇于挑战leader的角色并且花更多时间做调查而不是空想。
