In outskirts of Tirana, an NGO is providing a meal three times per week to kids from 10-18 yrs old.

In addition the organization is providing teaching of english, sewing, welding and computer courses. They are also providing free seeds to single women in the area to plant in their garden.

Please prepare a checklist of the Logistics Activities that the NGO will be have to deal with and what are some risks you might see in this kind of activities that the management should take into consideration.

Answer 1

Some logistics activities are:

1) Transportation expenses:

This point states that to provide meals and opportunities to do other things, it requires the transportation expenses to brings those things to that place. On the outskirts of Tirana, many kids from 10-18 years old and providing them meals three times a week are big. Transportation expenses are there while bringing food for these children.

2) Packaging:

This point states that the NGO volunteers need to do the food packaging not to get wasted. Packaging of the food items is necessary as it helps the food to remain fresh.

3) Material Handling:

This point states that the material's handling is the primary activity, as it tells the actual quantity used in the distribution process. The distribution of these things should happen systematically, which will not disturb the accuracy of the material.

There can be various risks involved while performing these activities, including misbehaving of volunteers with the kids. The NGO should tell every volunteer to behave politely with the kids, as they are there to help these children learn something useful, which will help them grow as a good human being. Moreover, there can be a risk of supply while distributing the food and knowledge to the place's kids.
