Think Global; Act Virtual volunt...@sunflowerchildren.org Sunflower Children is a 501c3 charity formed by passionate volunteers to support at-risk children throughout the world connected by an "Obama-like" virtual platform. Think: "Unicef meets Obama Volunteers" Physically located in New York City and the Czech Republic, we support children's projects throughout the world, currently including: South Africa, Cambodia, India, Nepal, Philippines, Brazil, Colombia, Nicaragua and growing. (For a complete list of our projects, please see: http://www.SunflowerChildren.org/list/projects/.) The Sunflower movement was started in 2000 when Miss Czech and fashion model Helena Houdova planted Sunflower seeds in a few friends. Now Sunflower has grown into an "Obama-like" worldwide network of virtual volunteers. Three paid and ten pro bono staff members run a collaborative charity of thousands of volunteers. 100% of all public donations directly benefit a Sunflower child. Our staff and minimal operating expenses are funded by private benefactors whose generosity enables Sunflower's 100% Benefit Policy. To raise funds for our children, Sunflower Volunteers produce several benefits/events per year in cities around the world. Sunflower volunteers have been awesome at finding, evaluating and catching children's projects that have been falling through the system's cracks and at raising the money for them in all kinds of ways. However, we are still trying to connect to volunteers who can help us tell our story to the world and create a platform that other people can emulate us and do what we do to form Sunflower Circles in their cities. Imagine: "Obama-like" events on a worldwide scale to raise money and volunteers for children. This is why we need volunteers to make videos for our Wikipedia platform to help us cross those virtual boundaries and explain to others with a whole new media platform. As a Wiki video creator you would need skills in the following: - Open Source - Drupal - Video Editing - Graphic Design - Adobe If you would like to be a part of making videos specifically for our Wikipedia platform then please e-mail us at: volunt...@sunflowerchildren.org. www.SunflowerChildren.org.
