Social Capital and SAVI
The fundamental idea of social capital is that social networks have value, by representing the relationships among people, the combined importance of who they know and the benefits which arise from these connections. The act of volunteering is a common measure and indicator of social capital, since it indicates the strength of a particular community.
The development of social capital has been a major facilitator in the overall success of the SAVI venture to date. The SAVI project, for example, has been made more productive as a result of the many volunteers who donate their time to support the enterprise. For example, Three elderly volunteers assisted today with the second handicraft seminar, out of a series of three seminars for handicraft therapists in day care centers for the disabled elderly, residing in the Sharon region. Their contribution had a tremendous impact on service delivery and mission building.
