2000) GENERAL INFORMATION:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2001) What is Global Volunteer Database(GVD)?

GVD (Global Volunteer Database) is a compiled list of SCHK netters
who are willing to provide information through e-mail for others living in
other parts of the world.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2002) Why do we need GVD?

Every now and then, we all need some kind of help and support from
people in another city or country. Many of us might seek information on a
degree program in a university located thousands of miles away, find our
long lost classmates in another city, or simply need travel-information
of another country. We have all seen postings after postings of
that nature in SCHK--wouldn't it be nice if we knew someone who would be
willing to provide us with insightful, first-hand information? This is what
GVD is all about.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2003) Who are GVD volunteer and what responsiblity do they have?

GVD consists of SCHK netters from around the world who
are willing to help others. Each volunteer has expressed interests in
answering questions pertaining to their alma mater, or the place where he/
she resides.

It is a pure voluntary activity, which means that the volunteer will
not charge a fee for his/her service. That also means that they might choose
not to help out due to time and other personal constrains.

For those who intend to become a volunteer, please note that the
information given by you will be made available to the public. In other
words, everyone will have access to the information you have submitted.
Should you chose not to reveal certain information, please exclude them
from the application.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2004) What are the guidelines for using GVD?

There's none. We, the organizers of GVD, hope to give the highest
degree of flexibility to the volunteers and those who use the service.
Therefore, we leave it to them to decide what they what to make of GVD.

We also do not wish to put a restriction on who can use GVD. In
theory, everyone who has access to this compiled list can make use of
the service. At this point in time, we have chosen an electronic-medium
(namely Internet) to distribute GVD. Should there be a demand for
other means of distribution, we will glad extend the service.

Although we do not wish to put too much control over GVD, we
believe it is essential to set some guidelines. The following list
of guidelines should be understood and respected by those who use and
take part in this project:

1) No one should use GVD as a means to advocate personal/
political propaganda of any kind;
2) Use of GVD for any commercial purpose would require
seeking a prior approval from the volunteers;
3) Each volunteer (and those who use the service) should
show mutual respect, regardless of one's background.
Humiliation, discrimination, and person-attacks of
any kind shall not be accepted.
4) People who volunteer to submit their information/
addresses, though have the right to withdraw their
support at any time, should realize that their
information will be distributed through many
different channels all over the world. Hence, it
will be almost impossible to wipe out one's information
entirely once they are submitted.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2005) What is the ultimate goal for GVD?

Thousands of students leave Hong Kong every year to pursue
advance degree in US, Canada, UK and Australia. A majority
of them do not know what to expect when they get on the plane.
Our mission is to make GVD available to various student-advisory organizations,
namely the Heng Seng Student Advisory Council for Overseas Studies,
the Institute of International Education in Hong Kong and so on.
Our volunteer in HK will physically go into the centers to introduce GVD,
and perhaps to give the counselors a lesson on how to use e-mail to
contact our volunteers.

The Hong Kong Student Association from every university
and college around the world SHOULD HAVE AT LEAST ONE volunteer
in the GVD. It will help Hong Kong Students around the world to
communicate better in event that we have not foreseen. This will
become an important step in moving SCHK from a discussion only forum to
an organized global network for Hong Kong people.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2006) Who is in charge of the GVD?

Sandra Chan is in charge of GVD. Sandra is responsible for maintaining
the list.

You may send e-mail to Sandra at: [email protected]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2007) How can I obtain a copy of the GVD?

A copy of the lastest GVD will be available in the monthly
posting of SCHK FAQ. If you REALLY cannot wait, pleae contact Sandra
Chan.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2008) How can I become a volunteer?

and mail it to Sandra Chan "[email protected]" and you will
become an official GVD volunteer.
