Achieving World Peace Via Micro-Volunteering - by Sylvain Henry

Most people on earth want world peace but few of us have enough time to do anything to make it happen. I would like to propose a way all of us can do something about it without interfering with our daily routines and obligations. I would like to introduce the concept of micro-volunteering, and doing so for a cause or a changemaker of your choice. Right at this minute, after reading this, you might have enough time to try any (or all!) of the following for a minute or two of your time, whenever you do have time:

1-5 minute suggestions:

-Donate an idea or constructive suggestions to your favorite cause
-Write a blog about your favorite change maker or cause
-Add links to your favorite cause websites
-Print posters to help your favorite causes
-Post these posters them in a densely populated area
-Feeding the birds or squirrels in your area with snacks in your pack

5-10 minute suggestions:

-Post posters of your favorite causes in a densely populated area
-Help another person find work in their location and field of interest
-Allow a less fortunate person to shower at your home
-Invite a less fortunate person to share a meal with you somewhere
-Try micro-lending starting with people you know and trust

15-30 minute suggestions:

-Micro-visits: Visit or call a friend in need
-Micro-coffeechat: Organize a practical coffeechat with friends and barter
-Write your own blog on peace
-Write an email to your president or prime minister regarding your cause



If you are interested in trying this out, please let me know so I can keep track of any and all successes related to this idea. Perhaps one day we can erect a National Peace Memorial in your honour. Perhaps this might be a very simple and fast way to help solve a number of global problems.

Peace, Prosperity, Truth
Prayer for Changemakers

PS My friends and I will pray that at least 100 people will try this new idea.
