Strategic review of an international non-governmental organization : Make-A-Wishr InternationalLau, Chung-hang, Kevin, 劉仲恆 January 2014 (has links)
Make-A-Wish Foundation is the largest wish-granting organisation in the world and can be found in over 50 countries managed by 37 affiliates in five different continents. This thesis is a strategic review of Make-A-Wish International (MAWI), including an implementation plan for the betterment of Make-A-Wish International and its affiliates, namely, Make-A-Wish Hong Kong (MAWHK). The first part of the review is a comparative study of MAWI against six comparable non-governmental organisations. The second part is a situational analysis of MAWI covering its strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats as well as some key performance indicators. The third part is an implementation plan for MAWI and MAWHK, which includes key areas of focus, namely Wishes and Wish Quality, Operations, Organisational Development, Community Engagement, Revenue Generation and Brand Building. With this strategic review, the hope is to be able to assist MAWI and MAWHK in its next stages of development to better provide services for the communities they serve. / published_or_final_version / Public Health / Master / Master of Public Health

Early intervention for children with developmental delays : a national inventory / Early interventionSaracino, Jennifer L. January 2007 (has links)
This study was designed to examine the most common characteristics, best practices, and gaps in service delivery at Early Intervention (EI) centres across Canada. A 29-item survey designed to investigate services, funding, waitlists, satisfaction, and perceptions of success was completed by 184 service providers. Provinces and territories were grouped according to time zone and five resulting samples were compared. Samples were comparable in terms of waitlists, perception of success and government contributions. Significant differences were found in terms of the number of professionals working at the centre, with the Mountain and Eastern samples having the most multidisciplinary centres. In addition to making cross-province comparisons, Canadian findings were also explored. As the proportion of government funding decreased and private funding increased, ratings of satisfaction significantly increased. Findings were discussed in relation to the relevance to Canadian EI centres and directions for future research were explored.

Doing hope with children who have been living on the streetSmuts, Meryl Frances 12 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MEdPsych)--Stellenbosch University, 2004. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This research journey explores the lived experiences of children who had previously
been living on the street and were now part of a house being managed by two
voluntary organisations. The caregivers and boys are incorporated as co-researchers
in a participatory action research journey within a post-modern, social constructivist
paradigm. The following research curiosities inform the study:
• How do the caregivers and children in the house stand up to homelessness and
poverty?
• How do their stories reflect the notion of doing hope?
Positioning myself within the research journey necessitates the discussion of beliefs
and constructs that inform the paradigm, such as post-modernism, social
constructionism, discourses and the deconstruction of discourses. According to
Denzin and Lincoln (1994:14), the research strategy comprises the practical
application of the assumptions underlying the paradigm through the use of certain
skills, and can be regarded as the paradigm in action which provides the methods for
the researcher to engage in the research journey.
In this study, a qualitative method is used to describe and understand human
behaviour and the meaning attached to it in the participant's own terms. The coresearchers
participate during all the aspects of the research journey, and the cyclical
nature of participatory action research described by Babbie and Mouton (2001:315-
316) is honoured.
The narrative approach is used in conducting the conversations. According to White
(1991:28), it is a non-recriminatory, power-sharing way of interaction that provides a
context where the consciousness and knowledges of the person are at the centre of the
process of consultation. An opportunity is created for the boys and caregivers to story
their experiences and to explore the meanings that they attach to these experiences.
The main ethical principles that operate are autonomy, nonmaleficence, beneficence
and validity.
Tape-recordings, transcriptions, reflections and letters are used to document the
research journey. Homelessness and poverty had been dictating certain behaviours to
the boys, and it was even dictating their lived identities. At the time of the research
journey, the caregivers are creating a community of support that is effectively doing
hope for the boys, thus enabling them to loosen the grip of poverty and homelessness.
Personal reflections indicate that I as researcher am not unaffected by the research
journey. Although obstacles present themselves during the research journey, new
possibilities are opened up for further exploration. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie navorsingsreis ondersoek die ervarings van kinders wat voorheen op straat
gewoon het en wie nou in 'n huis woon wat deur twee vrywillige organisasies bestuur
word. Die versorgers en seuns word betrek as medenavorsers in 'n deelnemende aksienavorsingsreis
binne die raamwerk van 'n postmodernistiese, sosiaal konstruktivistiese
paradigma. Die studie word toegelig deur die volgende navorsings-ondersoeke:
• Hoe weerstaan die versorgers en kinders in die huis die impak van
woningloosheid en armoede?
• Hoe reflekteer die stories wat hulle vertel die idee van 'hoop doen'?
Ten einde myself binne die navorsingsreis te posisioneer noodsaak 'n bespreking van
die oortuigings en samestellings onderliggend aan die paradigma, soos
postmodernisme, sosiaal konstruktivisme, diskoerse en die dekonstruksie van
diskoerse. Volgens Denzen en Lincoln (1994:14) behels die navorsingsstrategie die
praktiese uitvoering van die opvattings onderliggend aan die paradigma deur die
toepassing van sekere vaardighede. Die navorsingsstrategie kan beskou word as die
paradigma in aksie deurdat dit die metodes vir die navorser verskaf om betrokke te
raak by die navorsingsreis.
'n Kwalitatiewe metode word tydens hierdie studie gebruik om menslike gedrag te
beskryf en te verstaan en om vas te stel watter betekenis die deelnemers self aan hulle
belewenisse heg. Die medenavorsers neem deel aan alle aspekte van die
navorsingsreis en die sikliese aard van deelnemende aksienavorsing soos beskryf deur
Babbie en Mouton (2001:315-316) word gerespekteer.
'n Narratiewe benadering word tydens die gesprekke gebruik. Volgens White
(1991:28) is die narratiewe benadering nie-blamerend en is daar 'n gelyke verdeling
van mag. 'n Konteks word geskep waar die bewustelikhede en kennisse van die
persoon sentraal geplaas word in die konsultasieproses. 'n Geleentheid word geskep
vir die seuns en versorgers om hulle ervarings te vertel en om die betekenisse wat
hulle aan die ervarings heg te eksploreer. Hoofsaaklik word outonomie, niekwaadwilligheid,
goedgesindheid en geldigheid as etiese beginsels gerespekteer.
Bandopnames, transkriberings, refleksies en briewe word gebruik om die
navorsingsreis te dokumenteer. Woningloosheid en armoede het vantevore die gedrag
van die seuns, sowel as die identiteite wat hulle uitgeleef het, voorgeskryf. Ten tye
van die navorsingsreis is die versorgers besig om 'n gemeenskap van ondersteuning te
skep wat effektief hoop doen vir die seuns en wat hulle in staat stel om die greep van
woningloosheid en armoede te verbreek. Persoonlike refleksies dui aan dat ek as
navorser nie onaangeraak gelaat word deur die navorsingsreis nie. Struikelblokke
verskyn tydens die navorsingsreis, maar nuwe moontlikhede baan die weg vir verdere
eksplorasie.
