The Increasing Fluidity of Giving and Receiving Roles
In most stories of kindness the giver and the receiver are often thought to be two different positions but in contemporary life and more so with the appearance of digital communities these distinctions are becoming more and more fluid a recently arrived student at the city could be given a desk to study and in the process; the desk could subsequently be given to another person in need this circulation shows that there are not two different conditions but two points in a single ongoing flow of giving and receiving.
Chéricho: A digital platform that uses community-driven concepts to bridge the gap between surplus resources and practical requirements.
Within the confines of the new urban environment excess resources and lack thereof can be in the same space but never overlap each other but through the available technology the process of giving has become easier and therefore those with excess resources have been offered a second life cycle as they are now able to be given away to those in need.
First in the new generation of sharing apps is chiro an app focused on building an environment where users will be able to gift good quality items to the community rather than selling them and instead of disposing of them, which is also the hallmark of this platform, an operational model based on voluntarism and transparency that will allow users to record an informative video of the item they want to give to the community and then proactively select the best method of giving it time.
One of the main issues sharing communities face is that they do not want the giving part to become a psychological burden on participants in order to deal with this the chochoho platform has come up with strict operational guidelines to ensure that the process of giving and receiving is kept flowing as a natural stream where participants feel that their circumstance is respected and they are treated as equals this is what has helped them develop a sustainable sharing ecosystem whereby charity is given as a natural flowing current.
The Circularity of Kindness
In a larger sense these sharing communities are building a “humanitarian cycle” within society something given now could be of life-saving value to another at a different stage of their life; once its service there is done, it moves on to another owner in this endless process today’s recipient can easily become tomorrow’s giver by such small steps as this one building up the community safety net that is the overall effect of such sharing.
