Good for you!:-)\n\nLet me suggest that you begin your search at these two sites:\n\nhttp://www.sourceforge.net\nhttp://freshmeat.net/browse/18/\n\nThe two sites above hold a large number of searchable and browsable Open Source Applications. It is possible that a web application exist that will allow you to administer a site like you described (though the devil's in the details:-)\n\nI generally work within a technology set that's referred to as LAMP. This is a combination of technologies that incorporate Linux (Operating System), Apache (Web Server), MySQL (Database) and PHP (Scripting/Programming Language). Within this technology set are a wide and varied set of Open Source applications.\n\nBelow are two examples of some of the community service applications that I've come across. I haven't conducted any searches for anything specific but do like to keep track of developing technologies and collect links for future reference.\n\nhttp://www.activismnetwork.org/developers/\nIt encourages networking between groups in the same social movement, and networking between different social movements. When movements grow, then organizations grow too.\n\nhttp://www.sahana.lk/\nSahana is a Web-based disaster management system and collaboration tool that addresses the common coordination problems during a disaster from finding missing people, managing aid, managing volunteers, tracking camps, and managing aid effectively between Government groups, the civil society (NGOs), and the victims themselves.\n\nThere are also sites like the one listed below where like minded individuals can get together for any number of purposes:\nhttp://www.meetup.com/\n\nSocial networking is huge these days as a result of myspace. There are quite a few commercial myspace clones on the net, as well as epal sites, etc... Of course, tweaking an existing application depends on exactly what you want to accomplish.\n\nFor information sites ("need to know where to get help"), you might want to look at Content Management Systems (CMS). One of my favorites is:\nhttp://www.opensourcecms.com/\n\nThe site above does a great job of delivery demos of many popular CMSes, Blogs, etc.. If you visit this site, be sure to access the Admin Areas of the demos. Usability is important and many applications fail to deliver in this important area.\n\nBest of luck!

I would say no.  Some people just take advantage of those kind enough to help them out.  You have to know when to say enough is enough.  Asking them to help out after you've helped them out is the right thing to do.

Contact most of the people who post on here and see if they are looking for the help they so obviously need.

Yeah it is possible. I don't know any specfic details about your help, but perhaps it could be the type of help you are giving and not simply the fact that you are helping. Example. If someone needs money bad for whatever, don't give them money. Help them find a way they can get the money on thier own. And so on. Helping people is good but if that help includes you getting hurt as a possible outcome that is not the help that needs to be given. For the benefit of yourself and the people you love in this world.

I've always been the type of person who loves to do the charity thing for those unfortunate people I see on streets(selling flowers, candies, newspapers for a living). I've always wanted to offer them help but I have nothing but my allowances. So this is the very thing I will do with my power. Make these people feel they belong to the society.

What kind of help you need ?

Do you have a job? Either get a job or do some volunteer work to help others. Everyone in this world can play a part in making it a better place. If you are bored then you have time to make a difference in the life of somebody else.

I think you did the right thing to help - I would try and help as much as poss. I hope someone would help me if I needed them (not that I would be in such a state) but there are all sorts of other reasons you might need help from strangers - maybe you feel ill or something.  I don't think people help too much because they are scared of getting involved or implicated in something they are not part of.

have them imagine that they need help/assistance and what having other help them feels like.  Then have them imagine the same scenario w/o anyone to help them.  Then tell them that they can fill those voids and be that person that's there to help.  Tell them that there are tons of different ways they can help.  They can be on the front line or behind the scenes. They can help out animals or humans.
