WEBZ / PORCHLIGHT COMMONS
Global Crossing 001 / Minnesota ↔ Ghana / prototype

What's missing here may exist elsewhere.

An exchange desk for community organizations to compare local supply, distant resources, and reusable know-how. Begin with one bounded need; never exchange somebody's private case file.

A 20-SECOND EXPERIMENT · FICTIONAL

Someone has extra vegetables. A community table could use food.

What happens next? Tap anything. No signup, no form, no wrong-answer penalty.

This is a fictional rehearsal, not a real resource match, authorization, or delivery.

Partner approvals and independently confirmed outcomes belong to real people.

Demonstration only. This page has no accounts, backend, partners, service placement, sending, or live matching. Nothing is saved or transmitted. Never enter names, contact details, client records, shelter addresses, or sensitive locations. Exported cards require human inspection.

Need / organization-level only
Compare possible pathways (optional estimates, USD)

Include full landed costs, delivery, maintenance, licensing and local opportunity costs before marking reviewed. A price estimate is not a quote or a commitment.

Local purchase / Ghanaian supplier
Distant donation / shipping
Knowledge transfer / teach a locally buildable method

No crossing has been proposed or authorized.

Inspect before sharing

This packet is explicitly unverified. For actual participation: obtain a named organization's approval, independent lived-experience review, written scope and privacy limits, then use its existing volunteer/donation process. A reported delivery is never an independently confirmed receipt.

No draft created.

First crossing to investigate

Nima/Accra: ask Healer's existing community contacts whether a low-capital food shelf, charging point, or communications desk is useful. Minnesota: ask one shelter operator which authorized, non-sensitive practical task a neighbor could complete. Neither side is enrolled here.

Possible pathways: source food locally before shipping; lend technical instructions rather than unusable hardware; test solar and thermal storage only with local review; record actual costs and recipient-confirmed outcomes before publishing a reusable method.
