August-October 2019 Tasks

Hello Ambassadors,

Good job to all of you for doing your tasks extremely well and being role models!

But before I go any further, want to clear up some mistakes that happened in the previous tasks from some of you,

Please read the tasks given and point division carefully. Some of them who had done really well forgot to do one or two of the specific sub-tasks, like say educating about the balanced diet, or sharing your poster, etc about endangered animals on social media or showing it to your relatives, friends, etc and educating them about it, etc. So, due to that mistake points were lost.Please post all your tasks on the website itself. For the first month, we have accepted a few people who had technical issues and have counted their tasks but from next month onwards, only those tasks uploaded on the site will be counted. 

Please find the updated points here:- https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Ad_Uv3wi5QfLA31vEOFH8MVMLWg5tt7fKT-Q88nYkK0/edit?usp=sharing . Have given points exactly according to the point division given along with the tasks sent during July 2019. So, you can recheck if you have any doubts. If there are mistakes, please do email us with the correction and exact task wise point division according to you.

As earlier announced, your ambassadorship finishes by end of October 2019. Also we know some of you have exams in September/October, etc. Hence, we are sending all the tasks upto October together in this email. You can complete the tasks as you wish at your own speed during the 3 months.

For Tasks 1 and 2, there are some special instructions:-

When creating posters of the events, have all necessary details and the event should be organized under the name of "Students For The Earth" and you can put your name as ambassador/Event coordinator on the poster.You can do them individually or as group involving other ambassadors. You can connect them via online and co-ordinate if you are far or live in different countries. You can also coordinate in person if you both are from same area or country and plan it together. You can find email ids of all ambassadors above or you can contact them by posting your idea on the website and getting ambassadors to discuss there, etc.Doing individually gives you the same points as told. But doing as a group involving other ambassador, you get extra points of = 20x No of Ambassadors involved, eg, if 2 ambassadors together do it, you get 20x2 = 40 points in addition to the points already advertised. So the total point is say 50+40 = 90 points.  The points will be given equally to all the ambassadors involved. But please make sure everyone must post a seperate article regarding the same because experience  of each ambassador will be different.You are free to use the Social Media handles of Students for the Earth to promote the event.
