Popweb Planet, and all of its components, has a very unique development story behind it. It has been built by a team of professional developers who have never ever met each other in person. This is a fine example of freelancing and outsourcing. One woman's ideas have been transformed into world-class applications by a dedicated team of professionals who's only method of communication each day is via email or instant messenger programs such as Yahoo, Google Chat and MSN Live.

Even though Popweb Planet has created a virtual arcade and virtual shopping, it also recognises that there are many people in the real world who do not have the luxury of essentials like clean, fresh water to drink and electricity.

Popweb Planet is proud to be sponsoring some major projects and is currently working with a charitable organisation in the UK to help to build a solar energy plant in Bangladesh. A $1 from each SILVER membership to Popweb City classifieds goes towards our FREEDOM projects and you can be guaranteed that this money will indeed make it to project.

If you know of a genuine need for assistance in the poorer areas of the world, then please contact us today (mailto: popwebplanet@xtra.co.nz).

Popweb Planet would also like to hear from anyone who has contacts with reasonable business or organisation skills who is willing to help us work with the people from poorer regions. A dream right from the outset has been to sell the beautiful handcrafts made by these people through our Popweb City and Popweb Planet sites and make sure that the full amount of the money goes directly to those artisans or creators. Popweb Planet also understands that many of these people would probably have never seen a computer or know how to package goods up for delivering to other areas of the world. So they need people who are willing to make a difference themselves and help these people. Please email popwebplanet@xtra.co.nz if you want to know more.
