You can be a volunteer without leaving your own home.
Volunteers from all over the world are helping organizations that serve communities in developing countries -- but without leaving their own communities. These online volunteers translate documents, write articles, research data, build web sites, mentor young people, design logos, and engage in many other projects to benefit organizations serving people in the developing world. Online volunteers are volunteers without frontiers.

In the US every two seconds someone needs blood. To find a Donation Center in the US, click here: Give Life.  Nederlandse bezoekers, klik hier: Bloedbank
