Team 9 [Let's Help]


Core Idea

Let's Help is an application to assist volunteering process. Both volunteering provider and volunteering seeker can communicate efficiently. The goal of this application is to link eligible volunteers where help is needed.


MDG Theme

This is our theme: People solve other people's problem

Our Theme is to help people solve other people's problem. Not everybody is perfect in this world but we all have some capabilities or skills. Therefore, our project will play a role of “gateway” to establish the relationship between the people.

Let's Help (hereinafter: LH) is an idea where people can “take initiative” to help others in case of disaster (earthquake, volcano eruption etc) and normal help (providing free services or volunteer work for others).
