I have another problem with this question. I have 2 travel-to-Nepal channels, very small and refusing to grow. I'm starting a crowding funder for our NGO we have registered here in Nepal. The Nepali are not so savvy about anything outside of Facebook. The funding site allows peer-to-peer fundraising so our interns and volunteers can easily share the project and any donations will come to their credit. Out of 8, only 1 or 2 of them figured it out. I think a tutorial-type video would be helpful, but I don't know about putting it on the channel. So, should I put this up on one of my channels? Maybe the one with less than 50 subs? Then I could use it to get more volunteers. A lot of people are looking to help environmental projects in Nepal even before they come and we only need fundraising now. We offer a great deal for the volunteers-free homestay and tour of Kathmandu without having to work. Good idea or not?
After the Nepal earthquakes of 2015, I funded and equipped a small team of relief workers that were boots on the ground within 72-hours. The team had high medical skills and had been through my survival training, but the original organization that sponsored them would not let them use those skills to help the precious people of Nepal. Unfortunately, many of the organizations that were there to help, were content to sit around and pray for people instead of doing anything tangible. My team contacted me with the satphone I had provided to them and I told them to leave that organization and find a new one that was actually doing something. They hopped on a truck with some Rubicon volunteers and ended up signing up with the WHO, and spent the rest of their time building clinics and reestablishing vital systems to villages. Unfortunately, almost a week of precious time was lost sitting around doing nothing because of the lack of order and direction by the "Humanitarian NPOs" in Nepal. Fortunately for my team, I am a survival expert and had outfitted them with fully equipped survival packs that allowed them to be a help and not a burden on the system. My team came back from Nepal a bit upset at what they saw, which was a huge waste of resources that was spent to take care of volunteers with big hearts but no skill, and group leaders and directors that also had no clue what to do.
I think anything you can do to better train volunteers and team leaders so they can be more effective, is a really good thing. To me, this type of content is so narrow, that it deserves its own channel, unless of course, you already have a channel for your NPO. Just my opinion.
