I wonder if anyone knows about ways to help people of great need by using the Internet. Of course there are many ways of helping people by giving money - but if I want to put time and work into it - do you know of ways?

I think you can help people by making them feel good and make them feel that they have someone to reply upon. Looking for ways other than to give money - on Internet, is just good but a wonder. All you can do on Internet is chat or money transfer - or just browse. When people are in great need, you could send them some things which they require through post. That's it - you can't do much ON INTERNET. But of course, you can make people feel good by chatting with those who are helpful. AND you can even help the charity programs (always look for legal and reasonable cahrity programs!) and the orgranizations which work for the better of people. You can log onto the sites of UNICEF and UNESCO where all the people there are dedicated to human service. So many ways! So much less it can be described...

Thank you for your response! Well - I was thinking of maybe doing something that has to do with writing - for instance edit and correct written publications that are supposed to help people how are in great need - if not otherwise so by informing other people... I'm gonna think more of your answer - but now I need to go to class! Take care!

I've been checking the websites of UNESCO and UNICEF and I found the UN Volunteers. :) They have a section for volunteering online. It can be found at www.unv.org - and then look for online-volunteers there. Thanks again for the idea of checking these sites.

Indeed,giving money could help people,but I think that just money is not enough,because countless people can do the things like giving money,maybe more necessary for the people of great need is your sincere care,maybe just a greet.

Thank you for your response. I'm also trying to find ways beyond giving money... When you speak of giving people a greet - how would you suggest that to be done practically on the Internet?

it's good for you to help other peoples... some wise people says "don't give a fish but give a fishhook and a bait" because if they eat the fish they don't have fish anymore, but if u give them a fishhook an a bait they know how to catch a fish and get more fish. and if you want to help people by using internet.. maybe you can build a site that containing knowledge about make money online or somethings that can inspiring other people so they can be productive people "help people to help them self" cheers!

Thank you for your response. I think that it's something good to help people to learn to help themselves. However I'm not sure to help people help themselves by making money online will benefit anyone that has really bad circumstances in their life - people who are in great need. And it's them I'm interested in helping here. Take care!
