<H3><EM><STRONG>do_action_phc</STRONG></EM> is going to be an annual event where our local <A HREF="http://www.meetup.com/wp-portharcourt" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">WordPress Port Harcourt Community</A> comes together to give back to the broader community of Port Harcourt and Nigeria by building websites for multiple non-profit organisations. All of the sites are built for free by volunteers.</H3>
<P>do_action hackathons are community-organized events that are focused on using WordPress to give deserving charitable organisations their own online presence. Each do_action event includes participants from <A HREF="https://www.meetup.com/wp-portharcourt" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">the local WordPress community</A> coming together to plan and build brand new websites for a number of local nonprofits in one day.</P>
<H3>Who can participate?</H3>
<P>Each such website will be built by a team of 6-8 people in the following roles:</P>
<UL>
<LI>Project Managers</LI>
<LI>Designers/ Graphic Artists</LI>
<LI>Content Writers</LI>
<LI>Social Media Managers</LI>
<LI>Developers ( 2 or 3)</LI>
<LI>QA Testers</LI>
</UL>
<P>So, if you’re from in and around Pot Harcourt with some expertise in WordPress, or even just an interest in WordPress, you are very welcome to come and participate.</P>
<H3>What do participants get?</H3>
<P>You get to come together and</P>
<UL>
<LI>Work in teams, learn from each other, and share knowledge and skills,</LI>
<LI>Help extremely worthy local causes benefit by getting an expertly crafted website,</LI>
<LI>We'll shawer you with gifts,</LI>
<LI>Oh, and we’ll have fun and make new friends while we’re about it!</LI>
</UL>
<P><STRONG><EM>Your meals and refreshments throughout the day will be taken care of and we’ll get you some awesome swag to take back with you.</EM></STRONG></P>
<H3>For NGOs/ Non-profits</H3>
<P>If you’re a charity or non-profit organisation you don’t need to allocate some of your already hard-stretched funds for what would probably be a low-budget website. By participating in this event you have the chance to get a well designed and expertly developed new website, created by an enthusiastic and knowledgeable team of volunteers, for absolutely nothing – freeing up your limited funds to be spent on your primary cause – and in a single day, so no long drawn out projects that sap your time and energy and will be finished “sometime soon”!</P>
<P><EM><STRONG>To participate just fill in the application form at doaction.org/event/portharcourt</STRONG></EM></P>
<P>At least one or two representative of your non-profit organisation or charity will have to be present during the hackathon and will be a part of the team building the website. Your representatives and your organization will also be given free training on using WordPress through sessions and workshops during the day</P>
