My work life

I looked for some online volunteering at United Nations online volunteering.

www.onlinevolunteering.org

I have twice worked before there on 2 projects. This time, while I went there in a spirit of service, I was pleasantly surprised to find an opportunity that is fun as well.

www.youth-leader.org is a positive-change making media NGO that has the backing of UNESCO. The job involves journalism...writing online content but I may even do some web development work for them. I haven't yet coordinated on the type of work that I will have to do. There are many interesting things about this...the people behind are spirited, creative, of different ethnicity, young and adventurous. I may be the oldest youth there...lol. These people are committed towards changing the world. I hope to have interesting interaction with them. Another good thing is this is a long term assignment and so I don't have to go through the process of applying again and again after each assignment.

I have also decided to continue writing the novel professionally, daily 1 hour. Initially I thought engaging in it is just a passionate venture and serves no purpose. But now I reason that I have some writing talent, have creativity, am self-expressive and can convey some message (he he) in my writing. So it can also be of the nature of service though I need to be careful not to go on a passionate ego-trip.

These 2 activities will take up 2 hours and so I will spend another 4 hours in web development. That will take me to 40 hours of work per week.

Presently I can manage to work for 3 hours daily. I will progressively increase it to 6 hours daily.
