DoSomethingWorld.org Announces BETA Launch of New Website

May 20th marks a milestone for DoSomethingWorld.org as we launch the Beta version of the new website. We are excited about the new site because we're confident that it will be a valuable tool as you and your church work to reach your communities for Jesus by serving in meaningful ways through DSW projects.  

For individuals, the site is filled with compelling video and written stories submitted by the community, valuable "How To's", vibrant discussions, and even a "Volunteer Check-Up Assessment Survey". All of it is designed to inspire, equip, and encourage you to greater service.

For churches, joining the DSW Church Network provides your church with a broad spectrum of practical tools and valuable resources. Designed to actively support your congregation's efforts to Do Something!, the Church Network is a ministry provided by DSW and there is still no cost to join.

Church Network resources include Live DSW Media events, participation in the private DSW Q&A Forum and DSW Blog, and use of the DSW Church Health Survey tool. DSW Member Churches also have access to our Fundraising and Event Management Tool, powered by Mogiv, which gives your church a dynamic platform to raise money to support your Do Something! Events (including allowing volunteers to register for an event, text-to-give, and much more).

DSW Project Transforms St Lucia School

On Saturday May 15th, more than 450 Saint Lucians joined 115 San Diego-based volunteers to touch every corner of the Soufriere Infant and Primary Schools at the second Do Something World Saint Lucia High Impact Service (HIS) Day. The schools were greatly damaged by Hurricane Tomas, and were in need of major restoration of the buildings and grounds.

Crews worked to paint, tile, build and fix structures, clear debris, cut weeds and more with supplies, tools and machinery donated from various sources. It was a significant collaboration between churches, government, civic and business leaders, and the community of Soufriere itself. Impressively, a large number of youth representing groups such as the Boys Training Centre, Youth Aflame, I Can Change A Nation and the schools themselves aided in the effort. <<read more>>
