Our open knowledge project enhances social awareness of global poverty. It makes more people engaged in dialogues, donations, and philanthropic commitments for the impoverished around the world. We rely on the power of a random act of kindness: the potential to turn a life around. Online social networks connect people with similar interests together. Motivated volunteers and the connectivity via social media are the driving force of our social awareness project.

Although we initially launched as a pilot project, the power of volunteers made us continue and stride forward in opening up the access to knowledge on global poverty. Our volunteers are loosely or closely affiliated with the organization, effectively collaborating with each other to contribute their valuable time, talents, and enthusiasm, with a strong sense of responsibilities. Getting involved in the social awareness project is an opportunity to discover new ways to collaborate and learn from others. Some volunteers have contributed for many years, and others volunteer from abroad, in places like Vancouver, Beijing, Edinburgh, Paris, and New Jersey.
