The basic vision behind this website is very simple and that is to encourage Part Time Volunteerism (which I believe is similar to Nuclear Fission). There is a sizable minority among us who feel that the world is broken and needs to be fixed. The world is broken because it faces the Four Mega Crisis as listed below,
- The rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer. The rich are taking much more than their fair share.
- The world's resources like petroleum , coal, minerals, fisheries are depleting
- The world's population is going much beyond its carrying capacity. Our earth is stretched beyond its limit by overpopulation and overconsumption
- The environment is degraded by loss of diversity and pollution.
A volunteer needs to understand why it is broken and what can be done to fix it. Volunteerism cannot begin without vision and vision is not possible without Philosophy. This website seeks to understand what is the root cause of our problems and what can a volunteer who donates a part of his/her time do about it.
This is a short video where I explain the concept behind my website
Our volunteers in a school on a talk on nutrition for parents of the school children.
