Effective & Worthwhile NGOs

"When we grow old, there can only be one regret – not to have given enough of ourselves." — Eleonora Duse. 

Engaging in NGO work is the best thing to do with one's free time. It becomes even more rewarding when you have no 'free time'. Alongside his work with antiquities for various organizations and museums, as well as running his own ancient art business, Mr. Samuel Merrin is deeply involved with several non-profit organizations.

Identified as reputable and effectual from first-hand experience, Samuel Merrin would like to invite others to 'join in' with some of these NGOs.

DOROT's University Without Walls is an e-learning, educational program for senior citizens that allows both students and teachers to work from home. It is highly advantageous to both parties as they each save time, expenses, and especially effort in travel – very practical for home-bound elderly people. The students are instructed by hobbyists, academics or even leading experts in their fields, who are able to pass on their knowledge to people that have already been through so much in life, but are still curious.
