Volunteer coders to help connect up the Peace Corps
Scott, a Peace Corps volunteer, got web-volunteers to help him build a fantastic web-resource for his project in Guyana. Hot on the heels of his success there, he's putting together a much more ambitious project to connect up the whole Peace Corps. When I worked in Costa Rica 12 years ago with Youth Challenge International, I came back with the same intention, but I was ahead of my time -- today, this is totally do-able.
I want to build site that will link up average joe web and graphic designer, database guy and anyone else that can help with Peace Corps volunteers around the world. We do some partnering in Peace Corps but we don't tap the huge potential that exists with folks at home. We need to do this. It will help get more done in the tiny timeframe that we are here in country.Link (Thanks, Scott!)
