Ibis Aalborg (Nordjylland)

Ibis works with education and human rights in Latin America and Africa. It is operated from Denmark and recieves most of its resources from the government. It is exceptionally good at cooperation with local NGOs abroad. In Aalborg we are a small group of volunteers who are happy to welcome new volunteers. People are not there because they know each other but rather because they can make a difference.

Ibis Aalborg offers

A volunteer network, where you can share your experience and assist in promoting the good work Ibis does abroad.
Campaign work: currently on Yasuni.

Aid Evaluator seeks volunteers to help find information about organisations.

To gather all of the information needed to help people, all over the world, volunteers play an essential role at Aid Evaluator. The hope is that ordinary, as well as extraordinary; people will become responsible for their local area. Being responsible means updating the site on the available offers of help and trying to keep this information updated.

Show support for Aid Evaluators sister-site: The Charity Review on Facebook

Aid Evaluator does not want you money, it wants your backing and your specific knowledge, about projects that help.

Furthermore, Aid Evaluator needs publicity. If people can neither find the help they seek, nor add information about the projects they know of, simply because they are not aware of the existence of Aid Evaluator; it won't do much good.

So do spread the word though Facebook, for instance. The Charity Review is the same as Aid Evaluator only focused on Denmark; to get at least one country to work. The idea cannot work without massive support.
