Does Job Satisfaction Encourage Online Volunteering? Middle East-Based Software Developer Contributes Online To A Canadian Charity 6,000 Miles Away

Eugen Bodolak, a computer programmer living in the Middle East, sought out a rewarding online volunteer opportunity via an Internet search. What attracted this programmer to virtually volunteer with Macdonald Youth Services (MYS), a Canadian charitable organization almost 6,000 miles away from his residence in Cyprus?


(1888PressRelease) May 19, 2007 - "I am working in a big company and a big team ... and you know when you have big team, you have a small, small, small part in it, so you don't feel like it's yours...," said Bodolak.

"I am pleased that we were able to offer Eugen online volunteer programming opportunities which allowed him to use more of his skill set and thus have more of a sense of ownership, stated MYS Online Volunteer Program Developer, Randy Tyler. "The type of virtual projects that Eugen undertook highlights that certain online tasks may also, in certain situations, be assigned to a team of online volunteers where sharing of skills and time will maximize production, added Tyler.

MYS South Dakota-based Online Volunteer John Small connected with Eugen when he was home on vacation in Romania. In the approximate 10 minute Skype to Skype interview, Eugen speaks, among other topics, about the nature of his job as a computer programmer in Cyprus, his impetus to seek an online volunteer opportunity, the importance of considering one's available time before committing to an online volunteer role, the concept of volunteering and how a team of online volunteer programmers may advance a project when time becomes a barrier for one volunteer.
