Chris Corrigan sez<\/a>: “Nipun and Guri are on a pilgrimage. They are keeping a blog<\/a>. As they walk around northern India, they are looking for God, for compassion for giving and receiving. I think this is the most important weblog on the internet at the moment…”<\/p>\n

Nipun<\/a> and Guri<\/a> say… “Convinced that good is everywhere, we are walking in India, headed ‘South’ to find that good. At one level, we’re profiling ordinary and extra-ordinary heroes so others know about them. At another level, we have left our homes and comforts in America to cultivate our own hearts, to develop our vision to see the good in all life. It’s a journey, without a destination.” <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

They have also started an open source archive for profiles of people doing good…<\/p>\n

iJourney.org<\/a> is a collection of compelling individual stories. Written by volunteers, this repository offers inspiration with the simple hope of spreading more goodness in the world. We have no copyrights. Please read, share and distribute.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The project that they call the “mother experiment” is an entirely volunteer-run, globally-active community of people helping others help others.<\/p>\n

CharityFocus.org<\/a> is an experiment in the joy of giving — an experiment that is working. Fully volunteer run, we’ve come together to create small miracles and share our inspiration, in celebration of the spirit of service.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

One of the more challenging bits for me was reading Nipun’s bio page<\/a> about giving significant chunks (like months) of unpaid service on the one hand and still doing paid technical work for clients on the other. Eventually, I remembered that that’s what I’ve been doing now for some years. And still the practice continues. More surrender, more clarity, more experiments, more friends along the way, more space for living and working with ease…<\/p>\n

I’ve added CharityFocus, iJourney, Nipun, and Guri to the blogroll.<\/p>\n
