While doing some consulting for Social Actions as a "Community Interpreter," I recently tried out their Social Actions Alerts that notifies you of actions (ie. volunteer opportunities, events, petitions) that interest you via email and cell. I set up a search for actions related to Darfur and have been getting 1-3 notices/week.
I thought I'd share the opportunity I got today with y'all in case who can help. An organization called the Book Wish Foundation is looking for someone to create a widget, like Sprout, to help get the word out about their project with Darfur refugees.
Here is the listing from Idealist.org:
Flash Widget: Reading Relief for Darfur
Organization: Book Wish Foundation
Create a flash widget (e.g., Sprout) our supporters can spread around the web, highlighting our reading relief project for Darfur refugees in eastern Chad. The project includes books, solar lighting, literacy materials, library construction, reading glasses, and school supplies for 60,000 refugees in three camps. The widget would ideally link back to our website, include a mailing list signup, display fundraising status, allow donations to be made for specific project components (as on our website), and identify our sponsors. We can supply photos from the refugee camps and text copy.
There is no budget, this would be on a purely voluntary basis.
There is no deadline, but there is urgency to provide this aid.
