Hi,

I feel for you and that being said, I feel for all that lack the means to get what they need.

Despite many things, I believe that life is a gift, a wonder and that the greatest gift is to be able to be of service, to help where help is needed.

I think that our current economy fails you, but I believe in, and am looking for, a fix. Also because it is essential for our #polycrisis.
Currently I am exploring #timebank s.

Ik zou op een sociale partij stemmen, maar belangrijker denk ik dat we 'de politiek' niet nodig hebben om een verschil te maken voor onze samenleving, met name door de locale en interlocale economie en daarmee sociale cohesie te verbeteren met behulp van tijdbanken en soortgelijke initiatieven.

There are thousands of #timebank s worldwide. hOurworld and TimeBanks USA are major networks in the United States. Spice (now Tempo) has been influential in the UK. See also https://www.timebanks.org/timebank-map-and-directory.

Me myself I recently joined a Dutch one https://timebank.cc and may explore https://ruilkringdenbosch.nl, a similar itiative.

Imho the weak point of the current regime is the economy and it is something I think we can fix by starting or joining initiatives for alternative economies with #timebank s and alikes.

Anyone currently or previously involved in a time bank? Been talking with some people about starting a local one but very curious about others' experiences. #timebank #mutualaid #circulareconomy
In a first for Kerala, Elikkulam Panchayat in Kottayam has introduced a ‘Time Bank’ initiative that allows volunteers to earn time credits by assisting senior citizens. https://english.mathrubhumi.com/news/kerala/elikkulam-kottayam-time-bank-seniors-kerala-n5c4y2kf?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #KeralaNews #Elikkulam #TimeBank #CommunityWelfare #SeniorCitizens

Digital Tools Are Fueling the Rise of New “Time Exchange” Solidarity Economies

Through time exchanges, members earn time credits by helping others, then redeem them when they need help themselves.

I'm currently writing up my notes from a travel fellowship where I visited #timebank #MutualAid networks and related projects in USA ...but have randomly come across some stuff about early #confucianism on grassroots leadership and reciprocity and would like to know more but don't know where to start.. particularly interested in works by #Tasan #ChongYagyong on leadership and farming but don't have access to research papers. For the #kdrama fans out there #Tasan is a distant relative of #JungHaeIn .. any suggestions or links to translations would be gratefully received. Thanks
