of the things that you could do to help out:

This is a social enterprise that is being made possible by kind donations and contributions from people like you. Please help this all happen with a donation.
We are really keen to have all of the interviews that we do transcribed in their own languages, please help us write the spoken words. .
You can help translate answers into English from the languages we have so far: Mandarin, Cantonese, Malayalam, Hindi, Urdu, Kashmiri, Spanish, German, French, Italian, Xosa, Afrikaans, Arabic, Pharsi, Japanese, Zulu.
Get involved in the web development of the Global People Project, if you have design or development skills and would like to help out, please get in touch.
There are many more voices and thoughts still to come. Perhaps you can do some of the technical processing to get the clips onto the Thought Map.
