Look at what we are doing with nothing. Imagine what we could do with your help.

Critical human resources

There is only so much that we can ask volunteers to do. Kidlink competes with jobs, families, and other things that people do in life.

Our most pressing need is to ensure continuity in critical parts of our operations:

• Kidlink's hardware and software must work at all times. Long delays caused by vacations or other responsibilities that our volunteers have outside Kidlink are not accepted by users.
• Kidlink's web sites have over 100,000 pages maintained by a large group of volunteers. Co-ordination, maintenance, and central support have grown out of proportions. We must pay for part of the webmaster functions to ensure continuity.
• Being a support organization over around 500 volunteers around the world and growing, Kidlink's top managers must be available to handle critical issues without delay. We must pay for priority.

Sponsoring Kidlink should be a two-way street. For example, we might offer you to tap our technological or management expertise in return for financial support. Contact Odd de Presno to discuss.

Improving our services

Key coordinators must regularly meet face-to-face for training and planning. During these meetings, quality time is devoted to improving Kidlink's services without the usual delays and disturbances caused by each volunteer's "normal life."

In the past, coordinator training workshops have been realized with the support of educational authorities, who have paid part of our team's travel expenses in return for a major public training event for local teachers.

One way of helping us to let us arrange a major Kidlink teacher conference in your country.

Special programs

Kidlink is particularly intent on involving kids in Africa and Asia, and to serve aboriginal children around the world.

Our programs to support aboriginal children typically include:
