YTF's Sironko Digital Village Team Selected as "Outstanding Volunteer Team"


December 5, 2007 - The United Nations Volunteers Online Volunteering service today announced the winners of the “Online Volunteering Team of the Year Award”.

The purpose of this annual award is to recognize the contributions of online volunteers to human development, to demonstrate how development organizations can strengthen their activities through effective online collaboration with volunteers, and to showcase the diversity in which online volunteers can support development organizations.

Youth for Technology Foundation's Sironko Digital Village team was recognized as a recipient of this year's award. To learn more about the YTF online volunteer team, visit the UNV website.

YTF recognizes our online volunteer team for donating their time and talent to YTF's work in Uganda; Jaime Chapman, Danielle Brunin, Oliver Smith, Katy Weprin, Anja Lohrer, Wendy Lowis and Charles Galusha (onsite in Uganda). We also are grateful to a host of other online and onsite volunteers who have partnered with us to make this vision a reality.

In a future entry, we will be profiling one of our online volunteers and details of their involvement in our work.
