Those of you who are engaged in pro bono activities to support initiatives to help bridge the digital divide are VOLUNTEERS, and there is a community that is set up specifically for such volunteers: the UNITeSCommunity, an interactive online discussion group, part of the United Nations Information Technology Service (www.unites.org) and the UN Volunteers programme (www.unvolunteers.org) This group has an international focus, and most of the members are volunteers are working onsite in developing countries. However, volunteers working to help bridge the digital divide in any country is welcomed to join: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/unitescommunity/ We have very few women on the group -- would really like to see more women volunteers engaged in ICT4D on the list, as well as those who are engaged in activities to encourage more women to learn about and use ICTs. But, ofcourse, anyone engaged in ICT4D as a volunteer is welcomed to join. Hope to see you there. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Jayne Cravens ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Online Volunteering Specialist United Nations Volunteers www.unvolunteers.org Bonn, Germany Online Volunteering: www.onlinevolunteering.org UNITeS: www.unites.org Global volunteerism portal: www.worldvolunteerweb.org -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- _______________________________________________ DIGITALDIVIDE mailing list DIGITALDIVIDE@mailman.edc.org http://mailman.edc.org/mailman/listinfo/digitaldivide To unsubscribe, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word UNSUBSCRIBE in the body of the message.
