Hopefully now you know what my trip is all about (in case you missed that info, please visit the “About” page). To make this trip successful, I need help from a lot of people. And before anyone panics, this has nothing to do with your money. I am asking for something much more valuable  - your time. Thankfully, what I need will only take a few moments.

My biggest need is in connections. I need to be able to connect with those whose organizations can use my help. I am open to speaking with any Non-Profit/Non Governmental organization around the world that can use me.  All I am asking in return for my services is room and board and bit of time to do some local photo exploring.

So, here are specific ways you can help.
  1. If you have friends who are involved with international non-profits, send them an email and tell them about me (refer them to to this web site) and put them in contact with me. The fact that they are hearing from YOU, someone they know and trust and not from me, for now a total stranger, WILL make a difference.
  2. If you do not have time to send an email, use the “Tell a Friend about Atomic Dots” widget on the right side of most pages. It will generate an email that you can customize and will add a link to the site.
  3. Share my site with other friends. You may not know someone I can help, but your friends may. Tweet, post on facebook, or use any other social network or just simply email out a link to an interesting post or the entire web site. Hopefully there will be many great posts with stories and photos for you to share.
  4. You can also send me the contact information of those who can use my help. Just use to the Contact page.

There may be other ways you can help that I can not currently think of, just drop me a note on the Contact page. Most importantly, come back to this site often, comment on posts and pass them on if you find them interesting.

Oh, and if you do have some cash burning a hole in your pocket and feel like buying me a cold one or a bowl of noodles (I do promise to write about both), you can always paypal me.
