Happiness for the poor in the Lunar New Year's days
January 18 - January 29, 2010Volunteer project: Tet (Feast of the First Morning) is the Lunar New Year of Vietnamese people. It is the most important traditional celebration each year in Vietnam. Vietnamese usually spend one or two weeks to visit their families, friends, and relatives, and beautiful places. They also go to pagodas and temples to pray for happiness, luck, success, good health, etc. with holy meanings for the New Year. They also make and enjoy very delicious food and cakes, especially “Chung” cake which is square sticky rice cake that all Vietnamese make only for Tet. However, there are still poor people and street children who do not have money for buying or making “Chung” cake.
The international volunteers will join a group of local people and volunteers to make "Chung" cake for the poor people and then give them out as happy gifts for the Lunar New Year. "Chung" cakes need to be cooked for 12 hours. The volunteers are expected to help about 300 people on this special occasion. They will also take part in preparing and decorating houses of the poor people. The volunteers will organize special parties and give gifts to street children and children with HIV/AIDS to wish them a Happy New Year.

Free workshops are offered to Montreal English speaking high schools (in partnership with Allies Montreal).

Olive harvest in Abruzzo
- December 1 - December 11, 2009
The project aims to bring new economic, tourist and especially cultural and spiritual movements in a quite isolated area. It deals with sustainable living, no waste, recycling and clever use of energies.
As every year international volunteer groups will spend some days at the ex Convento San Giorgio: a good chance to meet people from all over the world, to know a bit of Italian culture, getting in touch with permaculture and sustainable living; all this while staying in a Convent of the XVII century and discovering the beautiful Park of Sirente–Velino.
This is a special project in which international volunteers will help to collect olives in the field. The field is about 45 minutes away from the Convent (by car). During this period volunteers will be spending the day in the field. Work can be hard for some who are not used to it. .

As both sides discover more about each other, their lives and their cultures and go on to teach their own friends what they learned in this exchange, we hope to create a world of greater understanding and compassion.
Our Thailand centre works especially with the hill tribes, the indigenous people who live in the tumultuous borderlands between Thailand, Myanmar (Burma) and Laos and as far as China and Vietnam. The hill tribes in northern Thailand face many challenges, and it is part of our mission to arm our children with the skills, attitudes and knowledge that they will need to have equal opportunities in their future like other Thai citizens. The children at our centre are from the Lahu and Akha tribes.
Help Children in Kenya with the International Humanity Foundation
The International Humanity Foundation is looking for volunteers to serve at our orphanage and education centre in Nakuru, Kenya, and be friends and teachers to our children. By bringing together disadvantaged children of Kenya and volunteers from across the world, there is a learning opportunity for both. As both sides discover more about each other, their lives and their cultures and teach their others what they learned in this exchange, we hope to create a world of greater understanding and compassion. Our centre in Kenya also has a close relationship with the Pokot tribe in the eastern-central part of the nation and goes on regular famine feeds to support it.
Work
IHF needs people with all skills. No matter your experience, whether a student or retired professional, IHF needs you. At the centre, volunteers divide their time between playing with and teaching the children and working on international projects . The centre host English, computer and math classes, and the children often seek tutoring for their homework, all tasks which volunteers take part in.
All volunteers participate on one or more of our international task teams such as university relations, photography and child watch. To qualify to serve at a centre, volunteers must complete eight hours of work on one of the teams, and they continue to participate on the team once at the centre. In the rare case where you lack the ability to complete these hours but possess certain trade skills in agriculture, construction or others needed at one of our centres, you may be exempt from these pre-trip hours. If this is the case, be sure to immediately get in contact with the centre director to discuss your situation and possible alternative tasks.
It is important to note that these are intensive experiences. Even before your arrival at the center, you must work eight hours on international tasks to demonstrate your work ethic. Once at the center, IHF requires its volunteers to work eight hours a day (four hours on at center tasks and four hours on international work), six day a week. There is time to sightsee and tour the nation, but work is always the first priority. IHF depends on its volunteers to function and to love the children. If you are not prepared to devote this time to work, you should look elsewhere for your service experience.
Cost: IHF is committed to offering a flexible, affordable service experience. There is no application fee, and volunteers pay only USD $50 a week to cover the costs for their room and board, both very simple, at the center. If you commit to serve for six months or longer, you must only pay USD $600.

Mission Statement:
IHF focuses on educating and feeding children who come from the most marginalized and disadvantaged backgrounds. IHF has set up orphanages in Kenya, Indonesia and Thailand. We seek to provide a way for children to get an education that they desperately desire and are not able to receive. By educating and teaching these children that they are significant and competent, we also teach them that everyone has a voice that matters. IHF promotes self-sufficiency in the communities we work in, primarily focusing on the education, nutrition, and care of children. IHF encourages understanding and caring between people of all nations and religions in order to better prepare the leaders of future generations. We believe that by promoting communication and understanding between students from the poorest of the poor and students in America, we will all be better educated by this exchange. We desire for every student in the United States to have communication with students abroad who are different both culturally and socioeconomically, in order for all students to be educated about the world they live in.

Reconstruction of schools destroyed by Hurricane Jimena
January 13 - January 29, 2010Guaymas city has been suffering in the last years unusual weather phenomena. This year the hurricane Jimena has lashed the city of Guaymas leaving an important level of rain. 2009 is the year when it rained the most (in the last 50 years) and this caused an important damage to the population of Guaymas and to the city. The hurricane affected people of all backgrounds, leaving a lot of people in the middle of nowhere since they lost everything they had. Everything was affected, public buildings, leisure areas, houses, schools, there was no place that was not affected.
This international volunteer project is organized in order to help in the reconstruction of the city of Guaymas with the support of motivated volunteers. There are many things to be done since there were several areas seriously affected. We need help to clean beaches, to rebuild sportive spaces, to clean up parks and community spaces, to fix roads, to help in rural communities by giving health workshops.
After the hurricane, the children affected don’t have a place to continue their studies, they lost everything they had for their education: material, furniture, the roof collapsed and the walls were damaged because of the water and humidity. For that reason, at this first stage, the goal of the project is renovating and reconstructing two schools damaged by the Jimena Hurricane, so the children affected can return to their educative activities as soon as possible and in a clean and healthy environment, appropriate for their development and with the support of the international volunteers. This project will benefit 25 families for the first school and 180 families for the second school.
Volunteers will help with the reconstruction of the two schools affected. They will help with reconstruction activities such as painting walls, reforestation, and cleaning the schools. They will contribute to renovate these structures through scratching and painting walls, and will also do some artistic work such as painting murals on the walls of the schools with the help of local volunteers with landscapes and thematic appropriate for the children. The volunteers will also help planting trees and reforesting the affected area, making and putting signals and signs.

I have a car and if needed, an MBA, although not neccessarily looking for simply business-related volunteer-work. Just looking to do my part!]]>

Joints in Motion, The Arthritis Society training program, brings together participants of all athletic calibers to take part in marathons, treks or walks around the world while raising money for the programs and services, including much needed arthritis research.
The members of Joints in Motion have their own "arthritis hero" and participate in the chosen event in their honour.
All monies raised will finance research and training programs in Canadian medical centers. This support allows physicians and researchers to increase their knowledge on arthritis and contributes to increase family doctors awareness on arthritis.
Treks for 2010, being offered as a group activity, are Machu Picchu, Kilimanjaro and Mount Everest Base Camp. We also have a walk - St. Jacques de Compostelle, that is being offered. There is also the possibility of supporting arthritis research through an activity of your choosing.
For those who prefer running, the following marathon destinations are being offered - Athens Marathon and Cayman Islands. We also have Honolulu, Achorage and New Orleans that are being offered as well.
If you are unable to participate, but wish to support another participant or becoming a partner of the program, please feel free to contact us. 1-800-321-1433 or arthroaction@qc.arthritis.ca

My name is Nadine. I am a professional speaker and an international motorcycle racer. I am currently touring schools talking about suicide and my own experience with it.
I love helping people, and I am starting a facebook page and a blog. I need someone to help me supervise the page and the blog every now and them from home.
Nothing too complicated, just a helping hand from people that would like to give back. Answer emails from the kids, and try to help a little.
I am not savy in the social media area, but I need someone to partner up with that can take care of that side of things. It's still fairly new, but growing very quickly.
Please contact Manny if you have an understanding of the twitter/facebook/etc world, and would like to give back to people who need it ;-)
From the bottom of my heart, thank you!

I am running a perceptual experiment for my Ph.D. dissertation and I need your help!
It’s a study about people perception of colors, shapes etc. It’s computer-based and fun. It takes 45 minutes and it’s very visual. It’s not a basic and boring survey! You will be using the mouse almost all the time during the experiment.
I am looking for participants 18 years or older, who have no problem seeing colors (i.e., NOT color blind) and no known neurological problem. You don't have to be a student to participate.
My study takes about 45 minutes. Participants will be paid $5 for their time.
The study takes place in my office in the GM building at the John Molson School of Business at Sir George Williams Campus (downtown), Concordia University.
If you are interested, please email me your time availabilities asap to schedule the date and time and I will send you specific directions.
My email is s_cheikh@jmsb.concordia.ca.
Please spread the word about my study by emailing this post to your friends:)
Thank you in advance for your help!

Our series is run out of a small church in downtown Montreal, and is run exclusively on volunteer efforts. The project was launched in January of this year, but it is rapidly becoming better known around Montreal. In addition to the classical music concerts, we put on an excellent mini Jazz series in August, and there are plans to expand into other areas including musical theatre, dance, and multimedia presentations.
Volunteers are needed for an array of tasks ranging from greeting and acting as ushers at events, to web design and promotional activities, to supervising entire concert events. Volunteers will work with the artistic director and will be given tasks suitable to their skills and experience. Bilingualism is an asset, but not essential.
For more information about how you help keep the arts alive in Montreal, please contact:
Mr. Roland Graham
Artistic Director, Music at St. Clement’s

These activities are combined with projects to help disadvantaged people at the Fisher Village, who are very poor and live in slum-boats on the Red river. This is done by giving them food, medicines, water filters (for clean drinking water), toothpaste, second-hand warm clothes and free showers in winter, etc.
The Red River is the biggest river in Vietnam. The delta is located in Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam. The city continues to expand with many people coming from the countryside into the urban area. This however, is an expensive endeavor with the government imposing a tax on people coming from the rural area to prevent a massive influx of people. Some people decide however to come despite this financial situation and thus must live in house boats at the river to escape from having to pay. Since they do not technically live in Hanoi they must pay for school which is usually free until the age of 12. The entire family must work hours that most people would consider inhumane. The children wander the streets begging and collecting rubbish. An entire family barely makes $2 a day.

I am a local artist / artisan who has found a use for these lonesome pieces of metal. If you have a healthy amount (or a small bunch) that you would like to get rid of please do not hesitate to contact me! Or perhaps you know of a place where I can find them in large quantities?
Below are images of my latest art object. It is a hand made chess board made from recycled cardboard, newspaper and bottle caps. The bottle caps serve as the base of each chess piece and provides the perfect amount of stability and weight needed for a pleasant playing experience. I have sold several of these sets and would like to take this product to the next level. But in order to do that I need a good source or supply of bottle caps. If you are interested in helping me out please contact me. I greatly appreciate it!
I'd be up for offering a discount on this product for those who donate.
Thank you in advance,

Must be open minded, free from prejudice, non judgemental and family oriented.
Rewards will be received in return from what you translate... guaranteed.
If you love the Philippines.... love family as family is respected in the Philippines and do not believe in those who take advantage of relocating from the Philippines to further sexual perversion and twisting of the Catholic religion in a foreign country (which truly only gives others a bad opinion of the philippine people...) .... then this is for you.
I am offering you an opportunity to stand up for what the Philippines stands for (good hard working people, morally correct and unwilling to sell their souls...) and write a article which reflects largely to defend those good Philippinos who come to canada with good will and good intention.
You only need to be open minded, free from prejudice and willing to translate word to word.
The truth has tremendous healing power
Hope to hear from you....
