Why Do People Volunteer. Volunteering abroad is an incredibly fulfilling and worthwhile experience for the community and the volunteer. All of our projects were either established by the locals or NGO's, ensuring that the time our volunteers spend within the projects will benefit the community in a sustainable manner. Not sure what volunteering is all about? Check out our top 20 reasons to pack up and go... 1) You'll Be Giving Something Back A prominent reason why people volunteer is because they want to do something good for others.
We work with communities based all over the world focusing on the areas of development, childcare, wildlife and conservation. 2) You'll Have Unique Opportunities Volunteering abroad offers unique opportunities that are usually off limits to travellers. 3) Use Your Skills to Benefit Others Use your strengths to help others! 4) See a New Culture from the Inside One of the greatest benefits of volunteering abroad is being able to spend an extended period of time in a new country.

The List: The Essential Hackerspace Checklist This document is "The List" - it is the direct result of the overwhelming interest in starting Hackerspaces that hit my inbox after co-founding PSOne and HacDC.
When so many people asked for help with the very basics of starting and running a successful Hackerspace, I compiled this list to make it as easy as possible for potential Hackerspace founders to hit the ground running (and not forget anything important). Since then, “the list” has been distributed and shared within Hackerspace culture. It has helped with structuring the success of many Hackerspaces - and hopefully with this update and public release, it will serve as a handy go-to checklist for your awesome Hackerspace-to-be. Feel free to share this widely, print it out for your clipboard, read it on your tablet, and share it with anyone you think could use this checklist to kickstart their Hackerspace aspirations. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.
