News Update

November 3 - November 19. Berlin, Mellensee.

As the weather turned drizzling dreary, we were working on chapters of the charity travel book, as well as Yeon's children illustration book. Met with betterplace.org but their workload is too high- together we decided a seperate website for independent volunteers is a good idea. We want to keep it simple and started working on a prototype with the help of a good friend and web specialist semanthis.de. It should combine these existing websites into a more powerful and social platforms, maintained by our community: independentvolunteer.org, volunteersouthamerica.org, and many more. For that foundation we visit Groningen briefly this weekend. More information about the platform and the foundation will follow soon.
