We leverage technology to encourage everyday people around the world to do small acts of service. Our aim is to ignite the fundamental generosity in ourselves and others, creating both inner and outer transformation.</p><p>ServiceSpace was conceived by volunteers, was built by volunteers, and is run by volunteers — all for the benefit of volunteers. Our projects range from a daily positive news service, to an acts-of-kindness portal, to a gift-economy restaurant. Regardless of the endeavor, we act in concert to create service opportunities for each other and to support each other’s service journeys. </p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="u-tag u-category" href="https://www.directory.trade-free.org/tag/community-network/" target="_blank">#community-network</a></p><p><strong>More here: </strong></p><p><a href="https://www.directory.trade-free.org/goods-services/servicespace/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.directory.trade-free.org/goods-services/servicespace/</a></p>

In order for change and mutual helping and supporting to succeed, we need to completely rethink the current structures of society.</p><p>We at H.e.l.f.a. would like to present with this handbook our solution approach, how a new social living together with values like compassion, respect, voluntariness, humanity, cohesion, empathy, understanding, support, tolerance, lived love and personal responsibility can succeed.</p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="u-tag u-category" href="https://www.directory.trade-free.org/tag/community-network/" target="_blank">#community-network</a></p><p><strong>More here: </strong></p><p><a href="https://www.directory.trade-free.org/goods-services/helfa-org/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.directory.trade-free.org/goods-services/helfa-org/</a></p>
