Volunteer

Hello,

I've been registered for the BiD network for about 8 months now and I really haven't gotten the traction or found an opportunity where I can jump in and lend a hand. I would welcome the opportunity to support the BiD challenge event in any capacity. Since I would be coming from the US I'm not sure about the logistics but I am very open to help in any way I can. Please let me know.

Sincerely,

Steve White

Purpose Driven Life

Dear Bid Network Team:

Passionate about the goals, missions & visions of the BiD Network, I will dedicate my time to become a self-proclaimed volunteer for the organization. Surely I could not come to physically get involved but we all will be driven to a common purpose of changing lives.
