healthcare help Hands can deliver medical
personnel and supplies to remote coastal communities, and host medical
professionals "on scene" while charitable work is being
performed. Potential partners for Hands include International Medical
Volunteers and True North Missions.
teaching The Hands crew has the credentials to teach
subjects such as English and entrepreneurship (Organizations such
as Making Cents provide a curriculum of entrepreneurship for developing
countries). Hands's Web development and marketing skills are useful
additions to a curriculum of entrepreneurship. Hands can deliver this
curriculum in places with an opportunity for economic growth.
educational
materials Hands can deliver schoolbooks, supplies, and
related educational materials to communities in need.
We would like to work with established aid groups, such such as Boaters
for Books, to deliver books and educational materials to needy coastal
communities.
girls' empowerment Research
shows that helping girls to learn and prosper in a community lifts
the entire community. The YWCA is an organization with branches throughout
the world that we can support with our teaching, marketing and Web
development skills.
conservation
work Many coastal environments are changing and
there are organizations such as Ocean Conservancy that we can assist
in monitoring
and providing the means to track and publicize changes taking place.
