The United Nations have an online volunteer program called the United Nations Online Volunteering Programme
Nabuur is another site that has “villages”, those are actual communities around the world where a specific job needs to be done.
I currently dedicate 4 hours a week to volunteer tasks. I’ll give another hour a week if I can get at least 5 43thinglings to pledge to help doing volunteer work trough any of the mentioned sites!
It’s been a lot rewarding, and the comunnity of people helping there is very alike the 43things community.
The tasks go from the very basic to the specialized but because of the remoteness and sometimes lack of computer and information resources (internet) in those places is that our help is required: helping to create a marketing brochure, design a log, search google for farming techniques or water resources handling, looking for donors, putting up a website, translating from one language to another, tasks we all can do in our lunch break or idle time and that can hep to change lives around the world!
