I propose the creation of a new, global social network in order to promote new forms of distance cooperation for NGOs and activists. More specifically, the new powerful social network should establish a revolutionary form of Virtual Volunteering: micro-volunteering .
World citizens will offer their time and professional skills, working at their own pace, from their home’s computers.A Micro- virtual volunteering task should require maximum 1 hour time to complete.
The new social network will offer future members three types of public profiles: volunteers, not-for-profits, and companies. Registration will be free for all.
Companies should reward volunteers and not-for-profit organizations proportional with their levels of activity and the number of points earned through using the network.
Benefits :
The planet itself :rapid development and increased social justice.
Volunteers: Doing good by doing what you are best at
Organizations: Limitless human resources available for free for cross-cultural cooperation
Companies :join the social network as donors => great CSR campaigns.
