Global Mentoring: 74 More to Go!

I met Lucy Hooberman, of BBC R&D at the Global s London Summit where I learned about her pledge on pledgebank.  (There was a lunchtime presentation of pledgebank).   

I, Lucy Hooberman, will mentor a minimum of two people in the developing world in the area of my skills base and expertise (media, communications, broadcasting , democratic media building, participatory media, community video). I will do this for free for a minimum of six months (in my free time). The mentoring will be in person or via email/skype and the mentoring connections will be established by a website and database that I am willing to take responsibility for creating but only if 250 other  people will mentor a minimum of two people in their skills.'

I signed up, but in a email this morning Lucy needs 47 more pledges to go!   So, if this mentoring project strikes your interest - sign up!

The Pass It On Movement is giving every student an apportunity to have a mentor and to be a mentor. This program is run by volunteers and is a great opportuntiy for 1.5 million nonprofits to raise more money and obtain more quality volunteers. We are contacting 83,000 schools in the United States about doing pilot programs starting in September.
