In most cases, the executives of the CDS group search out the place for the sensitization, gets the approval of the authorities in charge, agree on a date and time with them, then come back and update the group members with the arrangement made. Then, the team charged with delivering lectures meet together and prepare what is to be delivered on the agree date. Other group members are also intimated of this, so they prepare for the sensitization also.

In order to get everybody to turn up though on the day of sensitization, another thing is very important-Reminders. More often than not, because the day of public sensitization might not fall on the day for normal CDS meetings, many persons might forget. It is important therefore to send a reminder to everyone a day before the outing, to get all informed and get as many as possible to attend.

You can accomplish this with bulk SMS. Having gotten the phone numbers of all the members of the group, and a registered bulk SMS account, simply login and compose a reminder SMS and send to everyone. Everybody gets it at the same time, turn up on the sensitization day and make the outing a success.
