Enhancing Your Presentation: • Including photos can significantly enhance your presentation and make the stories more engaging. People connect strongly with visuals, so incorporating images of the project’s activities, beneficiaries, and outcomes can be a powerful way to tell your story. Building Awareness and Raising Funds: • Consider circulating newsletters or regular project updates that include success stories and images. Mailchimp is great for newsletters. This is effective in keeping supporters engaged and expanding your network over time. • Some project managers also organise tours to showcase their work. If this interests you, I can forward an example for reference. • RAWCS offers a crowdfunding platform, which is an excellent tool for promoting your project and reaching a broader audience. • RAWCS offers a crowdfunding platform, you could consider using this. You can find it on the RAWCS website. • RAWCS has a facebook page "Friends who like RAWCS" – you are welcome to post on this site (20+) Friends Who Like RAWCS – Rotary Australia World Community Service Ltd. | Facebook Reaching Potential Donors: • Connecting with other expatriate South Africans is a great idea. Finding South Africans living in Australia can be approached in several ways, leveraging online platforms, community networks, and professional organisations. Here are some strategies: 1. Social Media and Online Communities • Facebook Groups: Search for groups like “South Africans in Australia” or “South Africans living in [specific city/region]” on Facebook. • LinkedIn: Use LinkedIn to search for professionals with South African backgrounds living in Australia. • WhatsApp Groups: Many expatriate communities create messaging groups. These can sometimes be discovered through social media or local South African associations. 2. South African Community Organizations • Look for organizations or associations that cater to South African expatriates, such as cultural or professional groups. Examples include South African-Australian clubs or diaspora networks in major cities. 3. Local Events and Networks • Cultural Festivals: Many cities in Australia host events or festivals celebrating South African culture, such as heritage days or sports events. • Churches and Religious Groups: Many South Africans in Australia connect through shared faith communities. Look for churches or other places of worship known to have South African congregations. 4. Online Directories and Forums • Expats.com and similar platforms often have directories of South Africans living abroad. • Check local forums on platforms like Reddit (e.g., r/Australia or r/southafrica). 5. Alumni Networks • Reach out to South African university alumni associations, as many expatriates stay connected through their alma mater’s network. 6. Australian Government Data • Australian census data or migration statistics may provide insights into areas with large South African populations. 7. Word of Mouth • Reach out to South Africans you already know and ask them to connect you with others. Expatriates often have extensive informal networks. District secretaries can often provide email addresses for international directors or club Presidents, who may be interested in your project.
