Summary: A collaborative online community service project.
Description: In a world where so many young people don't have the chance to participate positively in solving the problems of their societies, where many children suffer and don't find any body to help them, where environment is destructed every day and we need much more efforts to save it, where many dangerous phenomena threaten our societies and countries and the lack of awareness is spread every where, we need to encourage students to act positively in their societies. Students can make great contributions if they have a suitable chance. Students represent a great proportion of the total population in many countries all over the globe. They are part of any solution to the problems that any society faces. They also suffer because of many problems such as lack of awareness, ignorance and bad social conditions. We need to give help to youth and let them feel that they are at the level of responsibility and can do something helpful and useful to their societies. We need to encourage students and give them the chance to enable them to help all who need their help in the future. Students who work on community–service projects and other awareness projects can serve and help governments in finding solutions to the problems concerned to youth. Students can also participate in community–service activities such as donation campaigns for national charity or helping illiterate people by spreading awareness among them. They can try to let their friends know more about the problems their societies face. They can give the hand to visit some orphans and have some good time with them. They can go to cancer patients and let them feel that there are many people who care for them. They can take practical actions to help street kids, child laborers, child soldiers and child refugees too. They can change what many elders couldn't change if they are given the suitable chance. "Students unlimited" is a community–service project that discusses the participation of students and youth and helps them to TAKE ACTIONS. SU is not a project based on a research done by a team, but it is a practical part where every project can consult us about how to put things into ACTIONS! SU is a mediator that can manage the community service programs with teams from different countries with the same interests. We believe that youths can achieve what elders might not be able to achieve because they have the ambition and the desire for a happy peaceful world. So, are you ready to be devoted to help others?
