The group has been scattered all over Shanghai investigating communities and contacting officials and NGO´s for potential collaboration.

We are working on a set of frames for presenting the places we have visited internally in the group and we have agreed upon a set of criteria on which we will base the selection of the final community
The community criterias:

-Project vs. process (we are doing a project not a process)
-Someone who wants to change (In order to make a change, we need people in the community to the change)
-Time (It has to be realistic time wise for us to create a success)
-PR friendly
-LEGAL
-The 6 disciplines
-Growth (Secured sustainability and the conditions for growth)

On monday April 26th we had a meeting with Xiaoqian, a student of the Onghua University of Shanghai who was very interested in working with us and who would like to engage in the work of recruiting volunteers for the execution of The Oasis Game Shanghai.
We will also present the project to the volunteer group connected to a Chinese NGO called Hands-On Shanghai.

On tuesday April 27th we are hosting our first volunteer meeting at the Kaospilot headquarters at South Zhongshan Road, “The Cool Docks” at 7pm.
We have invited 600 potential volunteers and we are excited to see how many will join the meeting and how many will feel inspired to join us for the adventures ahead.

In the coming week, we will also have a meeting with Gary, Vice-president of the SRCV Bank – a man of high influence and good connections with the government. We will discuss the possibilities of working with a community which he has suggested for us and the possibility of exchanging services in order to seal a good Guanxi bond and to ensure that the collaboration will be a good experience to both parties.

We are working closely together with both the people of Xindanwei, the client the project, who have offered their help in establishing connections to communities and also with the mother organization, The Elos Foundation Brazil, with whom we have weekly guidance meetings across continents and despite the huge time difference.
