How to be a Good Nabuur

This story comes from those good folks over at Ode. Remember the days of VSO, working abroad as a volunteer, helping out in any way you could? Well now you can do it from the comfort of your own home.

Nabuur.com has launched an online resources to connect villages with helpers…online. Projects get posted up and help asked for. Then volunteers with particular skills can connect with these projects and provide the service. It sounds like another great way to connect people and let ideas and skills flow around the system.

It also allows for a wider pool of people to offer up knowledge and skills they have but may, for whatever reason, not be in a position to share in person.
