webfind wednesday: UN Volunteers

I discovered this website in 2007. I wanted to do something more with my idle time but don’t want to follow a particular schedule to volunteer.  Thus, discovering onlinevolunteering.org was a blessing for me. I was once an English-Filipino translator for a website designed for community-based entrepreneurs. The real challenge was to find the right Filipino translation for accounting and business terms! It was fun and I learned a lot from it.

iheart: BBBS

I really believe that education will empower our young generation to aspire for a better Philippines and dream of a better life. As much as I can, I always participate in causes geared toward helping students. Thus, I am really happy to have found Big Brother Big Sister (BBBS).

BBBS was founded in 2005 by a group of mountaineers with a mission to bring school supplies to far flung mountain areas in the Philippines.  One can help by donating in their cause and/or joining in the actual distribution.
