Ghana’s based ‘Young People We Care’
Young People We Care (YPWC) is a youth led and youth focused organization that is headquartered in Ghana, with additional satellite offices in Uk and Canada. The organization “aims to educate and inform youth on global issues; inspire them to take action; encourage youth participation in global issues; identify and build sustainable partnerships aimed at youth development; and provide young people with the tools and resources required for effective action”
These guys do a great use of partecipative web to organize and drive all their activities; for example the “online volunteering programme provides opportunities for volunteers to provide support and assistance “virtually”, in other words, they volunteer via the internet. The virtual volunteer programme is innovative and, of course, cost effective for all involved. Volunteers can work from anywhere and don’t have to travel all the way to Ghana just to help out; they can volunteer in their pyjamas in their rooms anywhere in the world”
