Hi


I think the most efficient way is to get to know the grassroot organisation of your choice & to know the key appointment holders like chairperson.

Different organisation has different needs. If you could fill the needs then your service will be much appreciated and regardless of length of service, you may find yourself holding appointment in no time. I know someone was appointed Secretary while still being an Observer, skipping EM.

Different organisation has different cultures. If the advisor is a minister, then likely there will be a lot of volunteers around, and your service/presence may not be so significant. This may slow down your appointment as EM.

I suggest going down to the the preferred organisation and observe for yourself. See if you can befriend the volunteers there and accept their culture and also gather ‘intelligence’ on the information you required secretly. Openly stating you are joining them on the account of "phase 2B school admission exercise" is not going to help you as the die-hard true-blue long-time serving volunteers will understand you are coming in as ‘short term’ membership.

Hope this helps.

Dont need to wait and pray hard. Go find out the following :-
1) past history of admission exercises, whether anyone has to do ballotting during phase 2B, if have: for which distance (<1km, <2KM> 2km).
2) ask around to see the school's willingness in accepting volunteers. If the school accepts anyone and everyone, then likely there will be chances of ballotting. Phase 2B is for community leaders, parent volunteers, associations/clans members.


hope this help you in making a better informed decision.
