Activity 2: “Time to HELP, time to PLAN”

Helping others as they say is the greatest quality of a human being. It costs nothing but
the person who receives it, gets everything. Helping gives pleasure. However, the world is
working on a tight schedule and no one possesses time to help others. It is our responsibility to
help people who are truly in need of assistance without considering the consequences. Any help
always gets counted. Helping others is like helping ourselves, to spread kindness and to live a
peaceful life. Service to people is service to God.

Directions: You would create an advocacy plan for your future agenda to assist people who are
truly in need. Here, you would consider the following details in your plan.

1. Title: “Put here the title of your plan. It should be catchy and relevant”

2. Goals and Objectives:

Begin by picturing your goal. See it in your mind, feel it, taste it. Now capture it in as
much detail as you possibly can, using the S.M.A.R.T. formula:

● Specific. This is the “who, what, when, where, and why” of your goal. Describe exactly
how you define success, and the actions you’re willing to take to achieve it.
● Measurable. How will you measure your progress? For example, if your goal is to save
money, how much would you need to cut your spending? As writer Paulo Coelho says,
“No one can hit their target with their eyes closed.”
● Achievable. Do you have the skills you need to reach your goal? If not, can you acquire
them? This is not meant to discourage you; rather, it should motivate you to set realistic
goals, and seek out help if needed.
● Relevant. Is this goal really what you want? Does it fit with your broader ambitions?
● Time-bound. When will you complete your goal? Without a deadline, there’ll always be
more time, so there’s no sense of urgency. Setting a time limit motivates you to act now,
before it’s too late.

3. Rationale

The rationale of a research plan (or proposal) outlines the reason why you are conducting
and creating a plan. It justifies the research, explaining its relevance to the target problem and the
broader research area. Most of the time, you write the rationale in the introduction of your plan,
after providing the background of the plan.

4. Target Audience

Your target audience refers to the specific group of people who need assistance or
guidance in a difficult situation. Target audience may be dictated by age, gender, location, or
interests. State the reason why you chose this group.

5. Target Beneficiaries

The project beneficiaries also called the target group or the target beneficiaries of your
project, are those who will benefit from your project. They are the people whose circumstances
you want to change by implementing your idea. They can be affected directly or indirectly by the
project.
