Google Challenge & Human Rights Hypocrisy



Google Apps Developer Challenge 2012

It is an outrageous that Google took this action.

        Yesterday, when I was checking my email I found out that I received an invitation from Google to attend this challenge. Once I received the invitation i opened the Official Rules to make sure about what the challenge about at this time.

        The first two Line was " NO PURCHASE NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN. VOID WHERE PROHIBITED. CONTEST IS OPEN TO RESIDENTS OF THE 50 UNITED STATES, THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA AND WORLDWIDE, EXCEPT FOR QUEBEC, CUBA, IRAN, SYRIA, NORTH KOREA, SUDAN, and MYANMAR (BURMA)" .  Are you sure Google? Do the international sanctions of particular system includes and effects its citizens? Does this punishment on Citizens or System? What about Google against SOPA? What about your attitude to help the humanity? Or all of this are Hypocrisy?




I'm Syrian and I have the Full Right to attend this Challenge like a Human in this world. We are not body to exclude us from the community. If you are thinking that you are helping us I need to tell you that you are wrong.

Volunteering: Join the green world

Volunteer

        Would like to be a part of the community?  
Volunteering: is to work in an organisation or agency with no money in exchange, in order help the people and the community to become better and more effective. 

        There are several ways to volunteer around the world, and can be performed by anyone with own set of skills,e.g: you can work in Education, Information Technology, Translating, Engineering, Since, Medical, Painting ...  Whatever knowledge or skills you have it could be of benefits to the community. 

       What are the benefits of volunteering? 
- Learn or develop new skill. 
- Be a part of your community or any new community you are willing to enter.
- Boost your career options. 
- Meeting a diverse range of people. 
- The feeling of satisfying. 


        I wanted to be volunteer since a long time, but while I'm living in a restricted country and everything here is restricted only to local people I felt frustration. Then when I was starting registering on UWO which I talked about in my previous post, I found that there are volunteering option I can do it over there. That motivate my mind to this question, why I'm not looking for doing volunteering online while I can't find my opportunity here, so I started looking for internet everyday and I found a million of online volunteering, Actually the best one I have found was the one which belong to UN "united nation". Most of these volunteering work intended to help the poor people and community, I saw an offer before asking about helping blind people and that impact me hardly. I wish I could help those people to become able to see one day. I'll start do my research everyday until I find my desire.

        When I was thinking about going on vacation solo to GREECE, my lovely place, I looked for a volunteering work to join the community and meet the local people and as I like to be as a part of Greek community, another dream, I have found a volunteering work in a camp which they were responsible on helping the stray dogs, also I found many volunteering works in hotels and hostels, those place they will offer you room where you can stay among your trip, and what was the best thing? is that you will meet new people, locals or foreigners, that exactly what do you want to do while you are in your trip abroad. 


        Finally, feel the pleasure and satisfying of this job and help the community to be more better. 
        You are more than benefits with any skills you have, utilize your skills in a good place.

B.S. Join the green world.
