You can find online volunteer opportunities like these from UN agencies, and development organizations on the UNV Online Volunteering Service. The UNV recently updated its site to make it easier for individuals to find online volunteer opportunities, and for organizations to post them.
Mrs. Rizki of the Mr. and Mrs. Rizki blog, has been a member of the UNV online volunteering community for 5 years. She recently signed up to do some translation:
"I found this organisation named PEOI, which specializes in providing free online education for several countries, including Indonesia. I, basically translate their English contents to Indonesian."
SanityFound's Ramblings joined the United Nations Online Volunteer Programme when she was home with extra time on her hands:
"I loved the concept of being able to help the Developing Nations while I worked as I was not in a position to join the full time volunteer programmes."
You can search for volunteer opportunities in English, French or Spanish by task, development topic, and region. Best of all, all of your work is done online, so you can fit it in to your schedule!
Have you ever been an online volunteer for the UNV? What was it like?

ReplyDeleteThanks for the link, Sarah!
ReplyDeleteThis is the first time I've heard of the UN's volunteer site. Nice post.
ReplyDeleteI came across your post on UN volunteering by accident and wondered if folks would help a Peace Corps alum with his effort to make a photo documentary on Peace Corps volunteers. He use to volunteer in Jamaica and currently works as a photographer in Indiana. Hence the marriage of the two callings into this photo documentary effort. He's trying to raise funds for the effort, and I thought I'd try to help him out by posting about this effort for readers of your article.
His "Making Peace with the World" campaign is at http://www.thepoint.com/campaigns/making-peace-with-the-world and he's raising $10,000 to complete the project. One more interesting thing is that he's using a tipping approach to his donation campaign where anyone who donates will not be charged for their donation until the $10,000 amount is reached. Kind of neat for folks to know that their donation will only be used when the full amount is raised.
Think about it. Thanks for the read.

ReplyDeleteI was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
ReplyDeleteliver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
