About ammado
ammado is the global online community of people who care. We connect nonprofits and socially engaged individuals dedicated to positive change on a global and local level. ammado has a vision to build a community that will change our world.
Historyammado was founded as a mission-based, for-profit enterprise in Dublin in 2005 by serial entrepreneur Peter Conlon and Dr. Anna Kupka, with a beta version of the site released in June 2007. Since then, the site has developed rapidly and is now available in 12 languages (English, Dutch, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Polish, Korean, Japanese, simplified and traditional Chinese) with activities in over 100 countries.
Free to joinEveryone can join ammado for free. All you need is your email address. If you don’t find your friends or favourite sports club, university, school or charity on the site, make sure to invite them on board.
Individualsammado is a fun place to stay up to date and in touch with your favourite nonprofits as well as your friends and family. People use ammado for all sorts of reasons. Some use it to share their interests, to upload their photos and videos and to meet likeminded people. Others use it to show their support for their favourite nonprofits and to campaign for causes in which they believe.
People should be aware that Mr Conlon and Anna Kupka has refused to pay staff at his other company Xsil Ltd. despite having funds available.
It would in my opinion unwise for individuals and/or charities to be involved with Mr Conlon, Anna Kupka or ammado.com. Mr Conlon and Xsil ltd have left staff without their wages.
Mr. Conlon and Xsil are also being investigated by a state body in Ireland relating to government grants he has recieved in the past.
Do not let this man and his organisation fool you.
I concur with the poster above.
