a thunderstorm seems to.be approaching. I am having the time of my life using the #VirtualVolunteer beta feature of #BeMyEyes to find out where the lightning strikes are happening using the #Carrot app. The screenshot of the weather radar app displays a map with several locations and precipitation information. The map's background has bodies of water in light blue and land in white. The locations labeled on the map are Keila, Saue, Tallinn, Maardu, Rapla, and Aegviidu.

The precipitation is represented by different colors. The blue areas indicate light precipitation, while the red and orange areas indicate heavier precipitation. There is a large area of heavy precipitation in red and orange around Keila and Saue. There are also patches of lighter precipitation in blue scattered across the map.

There are three lightning bolt icons indicating thunderstorms. One is located just to the west of Keila, another is slightly to the northwest of Saue, and the third one is between Keila and Saue.

At the bottom of the screenshot, there is a timeline from 15:30 to 17:00 with a marker at 16:18, indicating the time of the radar image. The top right corner has icons likely for settings and sharing options.

@ScottBlanks What, exactly, does #VirtualVolunteer" do?
Do you talk to it?

Can AI be one of the next frontiers also in accessibility?
Be My Eyes has developed a virtual volunteer program that connects users who are blind or have low vision with sighted volunteers. Now, the Virtual Volunteer tool has taken things to the next level by incorporating the language complexity of GPT-4 to provide even more detailed and personalized assistance.

@serge Oh this looks wonderful. I have bookmarked it. I skimmed it quickly and recall a few of the projects from a few years ago, when I didn't have time. Thank you for the prompt! As an introvert this remote way of helping, is just my cup of tea!

@serge Great to see a #virtualVolunteer resource like this, thanks.

#MissionAssist has a wide range of #volunteer opportunities, with flexible hours, for people who are home-based and wanting to be useful. I will mention that we are a faith-based organisation, so joining us won't suit everyone.

I’d love, if I had the time, to create or find a site where you can do a good deed by helping out with something you have a talent for and earn a credit which you could then use to ask someone to help you back.

#virtualvolunteer

Last year I made a website for people who want to #volunteer or do good in the world, but may not want or be able to do something in person.

https://goodworksonline.org

It's a categorized index of ways you can #volunteer your time with a variety of projects.

I made it specifically for people who are struggling with #mentalhealth issues, who may be #disabled or are maybe just overwhelmed at where to start.

I'd love feedback or suggestions for more sites!

Could you help me to make better use of #SocialMedia?

I'm a #volunteer with #MissionAssist, a #charity providing resources and services for #Christian workers around the world. So we are aiming to engage with people who could benefit from our services or partner with us or become a new #virtualVolunteer. No fundraising aims as we are all #volunteering from home so no salaries to pay and no premises to finance.

Constructive advice welcome. Enquiries for #SocialMediaManager role also welcome!
