Change the world in just your PJs! How cool is that? And it's true, easy and wonderful.I received a nice email from Mike Bright who runs the Help From Home website - here is what he had to say:
I run a website called 'Help From Home' which provides information on easy, no commitment volunteering opportunities that can all be performed from the comfort of a person's home. Almost all of the 450 plus actions listed on the site will cost nothing or very little to complete and take no more than 30 minutes to accomplish. Some can even be performed in under 10 seconds without getting out of your favourite chair or pyjamas!Cool, eh? I just bookmarked it and will visit it often.
I run it on a purely altruistic basis with no intention of making or wanting to make any money out of it. I started it back in January 2009 and have been gaining positive feedback about it ever since.
What I'm attempting to achieve is to change people's mindset by enabling them to see that volunteering for worthy causes can actually be conducted from within their own house, rather than the more traditional approach of joining a group of people at a certain place and a certain time to perform actions that benefit others. Most of us spend a lot of time in our own home, where potentially some of that time could be devoted over to helping charities or worthy causes. If people were able to donate between 10 to 30 minutes of their time to such endeavours on a one-off, daily, weekly or monthly basis, just think how much of an impact collectively it would make into the goals and aims of initiatives that are attempting to make the world a better place to live in.
In closing then, I believe the opportunities listed on the website really can inspire people to make a difference, not only at a community level but also on a national and global basis as well.

Imperfect Action is better than No Action
Hi Chris - This is a really interesting system for matching volunteers to what needs to be done. It really doesn't take much to help out, but it can make a huge difference. I'm always interested to hear creative ideas regarding volunteering, donating, etc. thanks for passing this along!
