Pro Bono Blog

I joined C@rma in Istanbul last September to support the IT part of the project. During these last three months, the team experienced some ups and downs which I thought useful to share for other start ups.

Developing an app is not an easy task. We can attest it, we've been through many struggles but this helped us to get better. Keep in mind: do not get discouraged! What does not kill you makes you stronger !

Although the beginning might be a little bit vague, there are a series of acurate questions to start with.

On the C@rma 5 tools at the disposal of employees to support Civil Organisations, skill based volunteering is my favourite one and the most difficult to implement (maybe it is linked....)

First of all, thank to everyone who provided comments the last days to help me improve my site.

I understood I need to reduce text and add some images…working on that…some of you did not like the personal tone of my blog or the impersonal tone of my story J. I adapt my story but I hope my experience with starting a company can also help others…so I will keep blogging about failures and weakness..knowing that learning is on the way!

Lots of things happened the last days.

IT is definitively not one of my skills...I really wanted to do this website all alone, thinking it will be much more useful once I would need to make modifications; I followed all the tutorials (Lynda.com) and I was ready.
