Life in Malta, help in Africa!  

During the Station in Sri Lanka there arose the idea to create joint project and volunteering within the Smena (high introductory level, you know). As the Station is created by Smena-people and all thoughts will certainly be materialized - was born #smenamalta.

By combining efforts with Internet Nation we chose Ghana - a country in Northwest Africa, as a platform for implementation. Within three weeks, along with nine other professionals and freethinkers you will realize the idea aimed at raising the standard of living in this country in addition to your projects. Moreover, upon completion of the project promising concepts can get funding and your friendly team will continue to work remotely outside the Smena. And all this in close interaction with carefully selected people who share your views.

Key features of the project

✔ Free accommodation in a like-minded community of innovators

✔ Participation in an international project

✔ Testing your work in a remote team with the possibility to cooperate on personal projects afterwards

✔ Living a Digital Nomad lifestyle in Malta

✔ Practice English and communicate with locals and foreigners

✔ Proven tools for effective work

Ilya Alexandrov

Founder of  "Internet Nation", architect, master of sword fighting an alumni of Smena in Sri Lanka.

Ilya believes everyone has a superpower and it has given us to use it. Exactly that’s why he decided to combine the efforts of Internet Nation and Smena Station and direct it for the charity.

​"People on the earth are not competitors, but partners. Our life depends on how this partnership will be done”.

Our purpose is to show to the world that modern technologies can remotely improve life of people in another country.

Projects that will be implemented in Malta are based on learning technologies in distance supported by technologies and the Internet Nation platform.

People at Smena are amazing kaleidoscope, each of them is an ocean of intensive creativity and inspiring ideas. People who are so sincere, open and sensitive are not easily found! Artyom was advised by his friend to join Smena and adapted it so well that became the project administrator. He taught the guys how to make great videos and vlogs. He is being already doing that for more for five years. Have a look at "Bonjour, Adventures!" (https://www.youtube.com/user/urfjuice) Youtube channel about travelling and discoveries.

Artyom’s history is full of romantics because he was inspired to travel by his passions of freedom and life. The courageous traveller is on his way for about several years and could make friends from all over the world and learn several languages. Artyom is a very mobile guy, gladly embracing all the new things and readily available to help others. He is a great one to learn from!

Internet Nation also provides to all participants several bikes to travel around the island.

Which projects might Ghana need?

​Most of the exports are raw materials, while 75% of the population is literate, knows English and uses the Internet. The possibility of obtaining funding through the Internet Nation for promising ideas implemented in the framework of the project, makes Ghana a good target for volunteering within #smenamalta.

Examples of projects (but do not force yourself in their framework):

1. Help in the creation and popularization of resources that tell and show life in Ghana, its beauty and its problems.

2. Distance learning of Ghanian people (including conducting of individual courses/groups) on a wide range of professions / skills (transfer of own experience).

3. Creation of modern community on the territory of Ghana.

4. Development and creation of functional websites designed to improve and simplify the life in Ghana.

5. Small business ideas that can be implemented in Ghana, both local and with access to international market.
