How are you going to change the world today?

Make a difference in Minutes!
Microvolunteering refers to easy actions that take less than 30 minutes to complete, and the activity still helps a Cause in some way or another. These activities require no long-term commitment.
The idea is that people are more likely to volunteer their time in short and convenient, bit-sized chunks. Microvolunteering is a way to involve those who can't afford or aren't able to commit to something longer term.
The demand for short-term flexible volunteering opportunities seems to be increasing because of busy, unpredictable lifestyles. Microvolunteering is sometimes confused with online volunteering. But simple, conscious actions for a good cause can also happen offline: baking a cake for a charity sale, distributing leaflets or planting a tree are all examples.
 See how you can start your microvolunteering journey, and still make a difference!

Research indicates that digital devices present a number of critical advantages for students in the current context of digital learning and preparedness for the increasing digital economy which students will enter on graduation. These benefits include:

Access to digital learning, provided by TSIBA and other information in the digital ecosystem for learning engagement and research purposes; 
Digital note taking to index and organize study and learning material efficiently
Facilitation of (digital) group work by allowing students to meet online or at any location -- whether it's a library, school room or a student's home -- and to access all the materials needed, including course notes, journal articles, online research or software for creating videos and presentations
Enabling students to access information wherever they can get an Internet / WiFi connectivity. Such accessibility enables students to study whenever they have the time -- and no matter where they are.

For all of the reasons described above, and others, TSIBA has collective objective data indicating that access to all of the educational enablers which come with the possession of a device has a significant (positive) impact on academic success and throughput.
It is thus our objective to place a digital device in the hands of each and every of our (700) students registered for studies at TSIBA. In the contemporary educational context, access to such technology provides access to education, and the quality of education necessary for entry into the digital economy. Your support for enabling such access will have a profound impact on the future trajectory of each student provided with such equipment.

Virtual Santa Shoeboxes are made by teams of volunteers, and allocated to underprivileged children living in remote areas of South Africa. Due to the lack of donors in rural areas, these children would otherwise not receive a Santa Shoebox, and quite possibly no end-of-year gift at all.

Every Virtual Santa Shoebox contains all 8 required items: a toothpaste & toothbrush, soap & a facecloth, sweets, a toy, school supplies and a voucher for an outfit of clothing. Additional sponsored items are added as available and age-appropriate. These include books, lunch boxes, and teen hygiene products.

The cheerfully printed Shoeboxes are packaged, delivered and personally handed to the beneficiary child.

Should your purchase of a Generic Virtual Santa Shoebox be received after the Shoeboxes for the current Campaign have been allocated and delivered, your VSS will be carried over to the following year – and packed, allocated and delivered as above.

In April 2019, the United Nations launched the Sustainable Development Book Club. WSD South Africa was among the first few clubs that was formed globally. Launched at the Esk'ia Mphahlele Library in Pretoria, the club was set up for the youth of the Tshwane Leadership Foundation Homework Centre. Rather than bringing our activities to a halt, we decided to continue our sessions online and to increase our reach and impact. 

We would love to continue growing this club and encouraging more youth to join. We therefore seek volunteers to help promote the WSD SA SDG Book Club Facebook Group: htttps://m.facebook.com/groups/wsdsouthafricasdgbookclub/permalink/447576089910887/

There is a huge focus on GBV and the effects of domestic violence. We often forget about the kids that are affected, often they are taken out of school and do not have the opportunity to get back into the system.
With the GED education system they have this opportunity, it is online and a fraction of the cost.
Each student will however need a laptop, internet connection, annual sign up fee which currently is at R2 700 and the cost of 4 exams @ $75. I would like to sponsor at least 5 children every 6-12 months.
Please help empower our youth to secure their future due to circumstances out of their control.

The Covid19 pandemic changed our world and we are reaching out to You, to please consider a bequest in your last will and testament towards the continued 24 hour care of our vulnerable residents. Our Home has been providing this service since 1984. The most prevalent conditions amongst our residents are quadriplegia and paraplegia. 
Our mission is to assist people with disabilities, regardless of their colour, race or creed, by providing the conditions necessary for their physical, mental and spiritual well-being.
We opened our doors in 1984 and are a registered NPO, PBO, VAT registered & a Level 1 B-BBEE contributor. We are affiliated to the Leonard Cheshire Disability Global Alliance which works to improve the lives of disabled people in 54 countries. In South Africa, we have 16 homes of which the Turfhall Cheshire Home is one of 3 in the Western Cape. Each home is responsible for their own funding activities.
The families of our vulnerable residents cannot provide the care they require, due to a litany of unfortunate circumstance such as poverty, unemployment, and accommodation constraints. Our Carers and key staff members are our most valuable asset, and trained to assist our vulnerable residents with feeding, bathing, and all their basic needs. Each resident receives a small disability grant and has a shortfall of R3500 per month towards their care. Your act of kindness no matter how small, towards our mission, will make a meaningful difference in the lives of our vulnerable residents. Thank you in advance for your kind consideration.

We're looking for someone to assist the RJC as a Board member and support a team. The expectation of the Board member includes:
• Attend monthly board meetings (1,5 – 2 hours long, usually online)
• Oversee the development of a strategy for marketing, communication and stakeholder management
• Oversee the implementation of the strategy.
While this is an unpaid position, it presents exciting possibilities for personal growth and service. For example, we are about to commence a project to refresh the existing website, based on input from a team of international students. The aim is to better engage with volunteers, to encourage broader application of restorative justice in communities, homes, schools and the workplace, and to make it easier for donors to support the RJC financially.

Go to https://www.dkms-africa.org/register-now and sign up to become an potential lifesaver as a blood stem cell donor! 

How does registration work?
1. Order a (FREE) swab kit online
Answer a few simple questions about yourself to make sure you’ll be able to safely donate if needed. If it’s a yes, then you’ll be directed to a page where you can request your swab kit online.
2. Once received- swab your cheeks and return your kit
Swab the inside of your cheeks and send the swabs back to DKMS (there are instructions on the pack that you’ll be sent). The swabs will then be analyzed in our lab to determine your HLA (tissue) characteristics – this is how DKMS (DKMS is an international nonprofit organization dedicated to the fight against blood cancer and blood disorders) match donors and patients.
3. You will be added to the register
Once your samples has been analyzed, you will be added to the register and you will be "available" for patients all around the world who are searching for a donor. Amazing!

How does a blood stem cell donation work?
1. You are a match: If you come up as a potential match for someone, the donation process can begin. Our team will be in touch as soon as possible.
2. Health check: We will ask you for a blood sample to confirm that you are the best possible match for the person in need of a transplant.
3. Peripheral blood stem cell donation: In 90% of cases, stem cells are collected peripherally (apheresis). This involves taking stem cells directly from the bloodstream. You’ll be able to have this done as an outpatient and it does not require surgery.
4. The patient receives your blood stem cells: The collected blood stem cells are transplanted to the patient, in a procedure similar to a blood transfusion.
5. A second chance at life: Your job is done and your incredible donation will help to give someone a second chance at life!

Once you have registered and received the confirmation email, send a screengrab so we can give you a 5 star rating on the Forgood platform!

Microvolunteering may be the solution, allowing for one-off interactions. It increases engagement by allowing volunteers to help without committing to a regular volunteer schedule.
Microvolunteering may even lead to more regular commitments down the road, and sometimes these volunteers become donors, too.2
There are many things a person can do to help a cause which don't require a lot of time or effort. Such microvolunteering efforts can include:
<ul>
<li>Pick up trash during a daily jog</li>
<li>Sign a petition</li>
<li>Donate an hour or two to working a booth at an event</li>
<li>Start a fundraiser at work</li>
<li>Sign up for a sponsored race that donates to your nonprofit</li>
<li>Fill out a survey to help your nonprofit gather data Share donation opportunities on social media</li>
<li>Donate goods</li>
<li>Volunteer technical skills (such as writing or design) for small projects</li>
</ul>
One example of microvolunteering is the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, in which people dumped buckets of water on their heads to raise money for the ALS Association. Viral videos of the challenges spread the word about the association, helping it to raise hundreds of millions of dollars and enabling it to increase its research funding by 187%.3 Individually, each volunteer only donated a small amount of time (and on their own schedule, too), but the collective impact was immense.
Keep in mind that microvolunteering only fills a specific need at a specific time. These volunteers give time on an ad-hoc basis, so don&rsquo;t expect them to consistently provide the assistance your organization needs to operate. Having trained, committed, and scheduled volunteers is still essential. Microvolunteers should support your volunteer team, but they cannot replace them.
Key Takeaways Microvolunteering is a way for volunteers to give their time to a cause they believe in without a big commitment. Microvolunteering allows one-off interactions, which gives more people a chance to engage with your nonprofit and perhaps become regular volunteers in the future. It's still important to coordinate and manage your microvolunteers; online tools can help.

Microvolunteering is volunteering that can be done in small bursts or periods of time. It's a way to volunteer that doesn't rely on big commitments, which can prevent some people from being able to participate.
