The place where volunteers meet with communities and groups needing support

Welcome to the totally new Newtraid site!
Why has Newtraid© been off line for so long? Although the original Newtraid© site had some success in creating a meeting place on the web for volunteers and potential clients it became evident there was a need for communications to become easier and less formal. Also, in the last few years we have seen the birth and remarkable growth of social networking sites, with the more recent change in attitudes towards such sites by professionals and busineses With the development of Elgg which powers this site we can offer, instead of the formal stucture with registration of skills and and selection and introduction by Newtraid amininistrators you can now join a relevant group and start conversations with any number of group members and colleagues immediately. Yes, Newtraid© has been offline for a long time but we believe the wait will have been worthwhile. Existing members will be transferred and given the opportunity to continue with Newtraid, but we will be actively encouraging others to join and asking existing members to contact friends and colleagues and encouraging them to register..
We will also open Newtraid© to commercial organisations who are willing to offer their own particular skills , We only ask that they make this clear in their profile and respect the voluntary nature of Newtraid
Many visitors to this site will be familiar with Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and other social networking sites but this newtraid.org site is dedicated to Newtraid related activities such as community projects, technical and other support for NGOs, not for profits project co-ordination, blogs about developmental experience and whatever members believe to be relevant. There are a lot of useful tools on this site to help achieve these objectives, You can find some notes about "Using the Newtraid site" in "Pages" or here but the best way to find out about the site is to register and explore. To read a bit more about Newtraid© go to "About" at the bottom right of this page. There is some general guidance about the use of the site and also a page about protecting your privacy. Please read these at the bottom right of this page. The success of the site will depend entirely on you, the members, and your enthusiasm and perseverance.
