Kamel al Asmar, founder of non-profit venture Nakhweh, discusses how the startup works to connect youth in Jordan to volunteer opportunities via social media. Chatting with Wamda at the World Econoimc Forum, he describes how he is working to expand the scope of social work in Jordan and the region by creating the Wikipedia of Social Work in Arabia on Nakhweh.

"We want to spread what we call positive jealousy between youth in the Arab World," Al Asmar says, "so that they can get inspired from other stories so that they see their fellow citizens doing some work and so they get jealous and start doing something as good or matter better."
