<p>Hi Kim, there are tons of opportunities for virtual volunteering depending on where your skills and interests are:</p>
<p>- fundraising phone calls and outreach </p>
<p>- data entry</p>
<p>- blogging or social media promotion</p>
<p>- language translator</p>
<p>- proofreading eBooks (using a screen reader)<br>
</p>
<p>- sew or knit blankets for those in need (emotional support, homeless, etc.)<br>
</p>
<p>- create thoughtful cards or notes for children or even adults in the hospital<br>
</p>
<p>- help children in third world countries practice their English just by chatting with them via internet</p>
<p>- online support</p>
<p>- moderating an online discussion group</p>
<p>- application development</p>
<p>- online research (helping on criminal cold cases, free the innocent, academic research, etc.)<br>
</p>
<p>- professional online assistance like helping women entrepreneurs in third world countries</p>
<p>- help students with their homework and other academic-based projects</p>
<p>This is just a sample of all the wonderful volunteer opportunities out there for someone to lend a hand without sight and without physically being there. Basically, someone is out there looking for what you can offer. Just be sure to do a little research
into the organization requesting help. <br>
</p>
<p>Hope this helps~</p>

Hi there,
I have asked this question before, but I?m going to try it again. I live in a very rural area, so transportation is an issue. I am totally blind, and I?m looking for community service projects. Has anyone else done projects in this type of situation?
Thank you very much
Any ideas are appreciated
Kim Brown
