Orange Launches Mobile Volunteering Project

In today’s modern society, the common claim from most people is ‘we are too busy’ as if life is somehow so hectic that it is virtually impossible to complete all the things we have to do, let alone all the things we would like to do. The impression is that despite the technology, we live in a world where the resource drain on our time is just too much, and as such certain activities suffer. The truth of the matter is, we are all actually in control of our own situations, and a few changes here and there would make a world of difference, it just takes a re-aligning of priorities. However, the technology we have day by day in our pockets, bags and purses can also be used in a multitude of ways to help us serve others who need help on a regular basis, without making too many drastic changes to the way we live our lives
