Volunteers Do A Great Job

http://www.pureworks.org

Pure Works exists for the benefit of orphans and widows. Pure Works visits and subsidizes existing and ongoing missions both domestically and in third-world countries with medicine, medical supplies, medical equipment, food, clothing, books and computers.

You can also join and follow other Pure Works groups, such as Pure Works Zambia, Pure Works Philippines, Pure Works African Shade (new), Pure Works Burundi, and coming soon Pure Works Chile.

We’re beginning to update them appropriately with pictures that date back to 1999. And, feel free to post a pic or note if you’ve been on one of the missions, too.

The 2010 InterFilms Project has one goal: To create a full feature film, using only the skills and work of the YouTube community. If you would like to get involved, read the list below to see who we need and which positions we need filled.

Once you read the positions listing, follow these instructions:
1. Leave a comment with your name, the position you are interested in filling and a way to contact you (please, no phone numbers).

2. Subscribe to this channel and add this YouTube account to your friends list.

3. Wait for us to send you a message via YouTube.

So, here are the things we need:
Actors & Actresses
Screen Writers
Graphic Designers
Camera Operators
Sound Operators
Assistant Directors
Costume Designers
Concept Artists
Marketing Associates
Operations Managers
Interns (more info below)
Logistics Managers
**This list will be updated constantly**

Note that all positions are volunteer only. We are paying no one for this, and we’re not asking you to do it for the money. We’re asking you to do it because we want to earn money for charity.

Special Note for Interns: While all of the positions are volunteer positions, we need people on hand to pick up the jobs that are left with no one responsible. Essentially, we need a team of people willing to do whatever we throw at them so that the entire project doesn’t fall apart. If you think you can handle this, we need you most of all!

If there is something not on that list that you think should be, leave a comment in the comments section. We will read these comments on a regular basis, so if you have a comment, question, concern or suggestion; it will get read.

More videos will be coming very soon regarding future plans, but we need you to get involved before we can do much. Make sure to subscribe to stay updated with what’s going on! Thank you so much!

Austin Women’s Clothing Swap — Volunteer Community Service Project and Activism

The Austin Women’s Clothing Swap is a fun, fabulous, eco-friendly event, that empowers women to support each other through community. Harmony Eichsteadt and Rebekah Small teamed up to create a community clothing swap!
Harmony Eichsteadt and Rebekah Small began talking with the women in their lives and inspired a team of women who wanted to take on leadership positions in the project. This is a community project that brings together women from many walks of life and utilizes talent, skills and resources generously given by each woman who chooses to put herself into the project.

At the 2009 Paint-A-Thon, groups from local companies, including Motorola and PepsiAmericas, put down their work and picked up paint brushes to make a difference in the lives of area seniors.

In many ways, a Paint-A-Thon is like an old-fashioned barn raising. The spirit is still the same…neighbors helping neighbors, people working together to enhance their community. Sponsored by Catholic Charities, Valspar Coatings and the Volunteer Center of Northwest Suburban Chicago, it’s an annual event that brings together local organizations, corporate sponsors and volunteers for a community-wide effort to paint the homes of seniors and disabled people with limited financial resources. For this year’s Paint-A-Thon Valspar provided all of the paint,while over 550 volunteers also supplied their own brushes, scrapers, putty knives, rags and ladders, not to mention plenty of hard work. All of these efforts came together to make a big difference throughout ten townships in the northwest suburbs: Barrington, Elk Grove, Hanover, Maine, New Trier, Niles, Northfield, Palatine, Schaumburg and Wheeling.

While this year’s Paint-A-Thon has come and gone, there are still plenty of volunteer opportunities available in Chicago’s northwest suburbs. Visit http://www.volunteerinfo.net for information on volunteer programs and openings at local organizations.

Through in-kind donations and considerable volunteer support, the costs and administrative needs are kept to a minimum. The end result is that the lives of the homeowners, volunteers and supporters have been enriched by this wonderful act of generosity, and the community’s appearance is improved.
