“commitment is a difficult word,
because we have so many different
priorities now”
“I imagine it’s really dreary…you’d get all the crap jobs”
“I don’t have the energy, I come home knackered and it would take a
lot for me to get off the sofa”
“you wouldn’t choose
volunteering over paid work,
period”
“It would be a tough sell to me and my mates”
“I have done it but wouldn’t class myself
as a volunteer, no way”
“Apart from helping people, what are the benefits, what is the
attraction?”
“Right now life’s too hectic, we’re focused on accomplishing what we’ve got to do, first”

SPACEHIJACKERS
Tuesday, 16 June 2009
SPACEHIJACKERS.CO.UKWhat is the site about:
They are a group of ‘an-architects’ who campaign against corporate abuse, the degradation of the public environment through shopping malls, 4x4s, and the lack of green spaces
How do they make it easier for people to get involved:
They make it fun. They organise parties on the Circle Line to cheer up commuters. They turn around posters on the tube to stop marketing infiltration. They encourage people to walk around retail stores wearing tshirts that say ‘all products half price today in store’

KIVA
Tuesday, 16 June 2009
Kiva.OrgWhat is the site about:
It is a non-profit allowing people to ‘directly’ fund small businesses in the developing world. Users can decide who to give money to, how much, and they can track how much is paid back, over what period.
How do they make it easier for people to get involved:
Total transparency on what your actions are impacting – where your money is spent and who. They are also reducing the middle man and letting you feel in direct contact with the person you arehelping. It feels radical and human.
