The Janki Foundation for Global Health care (JF) is committed to support anyone wishing to develop the use of VIHASA in the UK or abroad. The following are some suggestions to consider: Short Term Strategy Getting started with VIHASA programme: -
Create a small group of people and share information that you have received (leaflets; Information packs; PowerPoint presentations). -
Purchase the VIHASA Pack and experiment amongst yourselves. -
Attend a VIHASA session/s and a facilitators Training event. -
If necessary, translate relevant sections (e.g. handouts) for presentations to a group for a trial run. The JF understands and appreciates that minor modifications may need to be made to make the material relevant to different cultures and languages. Long Term Strategy Either link with an interested organisation or form a legal organisation for promoting VIHASA. The strategy taken may vary depending on the law in each country and what is most serviceable. Phase 1: Organisation-Search or Set-up Phase Look out for an interested organisation to link with or set-up a new one. JF office can provide a copy of its constitution to ensure compatibility with the aims of any interested, associated organisation, or agree aims and objectives of any new organisation that is set-up. Phase 2: Agreement of a Licence or Negotiate the Formulation of Memorandum of Agreement (MOA with Country). The interested party or organisation and JF should agree to arrange and engage in a series of discussions (either face-to-face, or through audio-video Internet conversation) to initiate the process of drafting a Licence or an MOA. Refer to Guidance 2 for Volunteers using VIHASA in the UK & Abroad. Phase 3: Finalise and Sign Licence or Memorandum of Agreement Jf and the organisation complete the formalities of finalising the licence or MOA. Use of the VIHASA Material by Consultants and trainers If you are a trainer, consultant or an educator and wish to use the materials either fully or partly, as part of your business from which you are earning an income, then you can apply for a licence to JF to use the materials. Please contact us at values@jankifoundation.org We will send you an application and depending on the extent you use the material, we would request that you make a donation of up to 20% of the gross fees charged. Detailed guidelines with the Foundation’s ethos would also be sent when the licence is issued. The publisher and copy right page, 'Amendment dated 2007' in the VIHASA pack is attached. Back to top |
