Pavi, thanks for the info. I've passed your email on to my cousin. Melissa Pavi Mehta wrote:
Hi Melissa, Great to hear about your work as a volunteer! And to learn that you have a cousin signed up with us as well. In terms of donating credits, this is definitely possible and here's the process we currently follow: Volunteers of Bookshare with earned credits are eligible to donate their credits. At this time, Bookshare will handle credit donations manually, on a case by case basis. A volunteer wishing to donate his/her credits to a Bookshare member or would-be member, may send an email to the Volunteer Coordinator, with the amount they wish to donate, they may leave the recipient unspecified or if they wish they can include the name of a particular person they wish to donate to, and their reason for wanting to make the donation. These donation requests upon approval will then be carried out by the membership division, and a notification will be sent by the Volunteer Coordinator to the contributing volunteer. As time goes on we will modify the process and/or implement any additional measures or conditions necessary to ensure that the system of donating credits remains feasible for the organization. We are glad to be able to support this kind of generosity among our volunteer community and are, as always, grateful for the work you do, and the dedication with which you do it. All good things, Pavi Pavi Mehta Volunteer Coordinator, Bookshare Benetech 480 S.

My cousin has signed up, as a volunteer and would like to donate his credits. How does he do this? Also, When I originally signed up, I counted on doing 1 possibly 2 books a month. Well, I've been at this for a little over a month, and already have 4 books completed, am proofing a 5th, and will be submitting 2 scans very soon. So, by the time a year is up, I feel pretty sure that I'll have more credits than the cost of membership. Can my extra credits be donated to someone else in need of credits?
