Platform, which connects
people with disabilities and volunteers who are ready to help them, is now
opened. All the people who need help and those who offer help are welcome to
register and place notices. Helpific hopes to get feedback and suggestions from
users in order to develop platform further.
Breaking borders
Helpific participated in
the conference "Beyond Borders" arranged by Junior Chamber
International Estonia in August to surmount borders personally, technologically
and culturally. Collaboration resulted in artistic formed campaign to encourage
all the members of community to recognise people with disabilities as
individuals who are no different from fellow citizens and raise awareness of
those who are not volunteers yet. Heroes of the installation "Life Without Borders" are six people with disabilities who need assistance every day.
In spite of disability, they all are very positive and strong personalities
with different interests and knowledge. As a volunteer, you can help them to
live their life fully, without borders.

Helpific met on its info
tour in Haapsalu, Tallinn and Tartu in August, September and October with
