International Timebanking Day is this Sunday! Register for the event below:

We are getting excited for International Timebanking Day THIS SUNDAY! From : Sanjana and Jahaan, 2 secondary school students from Bangalore and the world's youngest Timebank contributors, will be speaking at our International Timebanking Day on 20th and 23rd March. These two social entrepreneurs set up a timebank called Social Cred$ for young people to be able to give back to their communities, and we're really excited to hear what they have to say.

Sharing this with profound gratitude to our movement's founder, and to a beloved member of our DC community. Thank you, Edgar.

The world has lost a wonderful pioneer and trailblazer to the TimeBank movement early this morning. Dr. Edgar Cahn, age 86, author of Time Dollars and No More Throw-Away People, and one of the founding fathers of TimeBanking, embodied the highest ideals of both mobilizing communities to come together to express their strengths and to restore mutual care. He created a new way to link untapped social capacity to unmet social needs and for communities to come together to help promote trust, reciprocity, and citizen engagement.

In the most beautiful way, Edgar moved people from his heart. He made each person feel that their problem is important and that he has all the time in the world for them. Thank you, Edgar. On behalf of our entire team and board at TimeBanks.Org, please accept our deepest sympathies to not just his family but all of us that have been deeply touched by him.

Edgar Cahn, the world wasn’t ready for you to leave. TimeBanks.Org and those that pioneered along with you will continue to carry out your vision. As Edgar would say, "Yes We Can".

We will let you know the details of his Life Celebration shortly. Everyone will have the opportunity to attend.
