2000)  GENERAL INFORMATION:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2001)   What is Global Volunteer Database(GVD)?

    GVD (Global Volunteer Database) is a compiled list of SCHK netters
who are willing to provide information through e-mail for netters in other
parts of the world.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2002) Why do we need GVD?

    Every now and then, we all need some kind of help from someone in
another city or in another country; we need information on a degree
program in another university thousands of miles away; we want to find
our long lost classmate in another city or we simply need travel information
in another state.  We have all seen postings after postings of that
nature in SCHK, wouldn't it be nice if we have known someone who are
willing to provide us with information when we need it?  This is what
the GVD is all about.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2003)   Who are GVD volunteer and what responsiblity do they have?

    GVD consists of SCHK netters from around the world who
are willing to help other netters.  The volunteer will
answer questions for the school he/she attends or provides
info for the city where he/she resides.  It is a pure voluntary
activity and the volunteer will not charge a fee for his/her
service.  GVD volunteers are those who are out there to help others.

    Please note, however, the information given by the volunteer will be
made available to the public.  In other words, every netter will have
access to them.  If any volunteer choses not to reveal certain information,
please exclude it from the e-mail.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2004)    Who can use GVD?

    Everyone who has access to this database can make use of the
info in GVD.  However, GVD cannot be sold for profit and the user
cannot charge a fee for his/her service.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2005)   What is the ultimate goal for GVD?

    Thousands of students leave Hong Kong every year to pursue
advance degree in US, Canada, UK and Australia.  The big majority
of us do not know what to expect when we get on the plane.
Our mission is to make available the GVD database to the Heng Seng
Oversea Study Center (something like that) in HK, American Chamber of
Commerce in HK, the Institute of International Education in Hong Kong and
other organisations who assist students in HK to study aboard.
Our volunteer in HK will physically go into the center and give
the counselors a lesson on how to use AT&T e-mail from HK to
contact our volunteers.  GVD will also be available to the
"Breakthru" Magazine of which they already have something similar
for many years, only now it goes hi-tech thru Internet. :)

    The Hong Kong Student Association from every all univ.
and college around the world SHOULD HAVE AT LEAST ONE volunteer
in the GVD.  It will help Hong Kong Students around the world to
communicate better in event that we have not foreseen.  This will
become an important step in moving SCHK from a discussion only forum to
an organized global network for Hong Kong people.  Something that
we might rely on after 1997. :)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2006) Who is in charge of the GVD?

    Kelvin Leung from Dartmoth College in New Hampshire, USA.  You can
reach him at "[e-mail]".  You are welcome to send him
any complaints, compliments, flames, suggestions, changes of address...
You can also reach him via regular mail.  His current address is:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2007) How can I obtain a copy of the GVD?

    A copy of the lastest GVD will be available in the monthly
posting of SCHK FAQ.  If you REALLY cannot wait, pleae contact Kelvin
Leung at "[e-mail]".

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
