Video of Penny Elsley on joiningthedots
Fuzz Kitto Interviews Penny Elsley in NYC from Jason Nicholas on Vimeo.
This is an extended video interview of Fuzz Kitto interviewing (my girlfriend) Penny Elsley about the NGO she founded joiningthedots. (If you go to the video’s page on Vimeo there are chapter markers to jump between segments).
Penny is on a multi-year journey around the world to connect young people with organisations and communities seeking volunteers. However, this is neither volunteer tourism nor what’s traditionally considered mission work; it’s a much more in-depth model that immerses people in cultures and fosters the sharing of life and personal journeys (watch the video for a more detailed explanation). She’s gathered a board and obtained non-profit status in Australia; right now they are seeking as many connexions as possible to build a robust network of people and opportunities (and, of course, needing sponsors and funding to fully launch the work).
