Hi all,

I’ve started another Peace Corps project and Fundable is going to help me raise the money I need to get it done. Cool huh?

When I was a Peace Corps volunteer in Guyana, I found it overly frustrating by the level of difficulty it was to find funding, resources, volunteers and other in-kind help for the various projects I started. Peace Corps lacked the resources and information I need to accomplish what I had set out to do, I thought there must be an easier way, especially these days. Instant access to information over the internet from anywhere in the world, even a tiny developing country like Guyana, has been a boon to development. So I thought, well, if I couldn’t get the information I needed, and not much is being done about it, why don’t I do something about it? I started a web based project that directly addressed the needs of volunteers for their projects. When local talent and resources aren’t available, I want to provide a tool that will enable volunteers to locate what they need quickly and effortlessly.

One big problem is, I’m not a programmer. I need help on the programming side as well as the design side. I am trying to raise $2,000 to pay a programmer and get the project up and running and helping volunteers. This project will hopefully enable volunteers to become slightly more efficient and help them to produce better results.

I know many of you are broke, and that’s cool ’cause I am too, that’s why I’m using Fundable.org. All I am asking is for 200 people to give $10 each. Pretty easy. The cool part is, you aren’t obligated to pay a dime unless all 200 people pay $10 and meet the goal of $2000. If the deadline reaches and the goal isn’t met, nothing happens. It’s a cool fundraising concept.

- What is Fundable?

Fundable.org is a new service that lets groups of people pool money to raise funds or make purchases without risking the money they put in. A group collection on Fundable resembles an online auction; each has its own page, describing how much money will be raised and what the money will do. No participant takes a risk: if a collection falls short of its goal on deadline, all money is refunded.

But if you can’t give $10, pass the word and spread the e-mail. That’s pretty basic. Anyone can do that!

So check out this project and help me get this off the ground!

Thanks,
