How to Volunteer for the Poor

Volunteering is an excellent way to:

• Be able to make a difference by helping others
• Learn more about different communities in your country
• Work and meet outstanding people

ArabDev seeks people with computer experience to participate as volunteer "mentors" in short-term, clearly-defined development projects with Egyptian non-governmental organizations (NGOs). We will work with you to identify projects that match your preferences, skills and schedule.

Here are a few examples of how you can make a difference by being a mentor:

• Coach a staff NGO person through a software use or upgrade
• Train school teachers to use hardware, software, and Internet tools
• Set up the Internet connection for a community computer lab's
• Help to create a Web site or add on to an existing site
• Set up a small network of computers for an after-school center
• Provide advice regarding new computer hardware and software purchases for NGOs
