TimeBank Core Principles
Whereas the mission of Malaysia TimeBank is to apply time as a currency to build local exchange networks that draw on untapped community assets and foster caring, respect, and justice.
Whereas Malaysia TimeBank and all members will share the Basic Rule of timebanking that one hour of service equals one-time credit, regardless of the service provided.
Whereas Malaysia TimeBank and all members will share the Core Values of Timebanking and seek to advance their implementation.
- Assets: We are all assets. Everyone has something to contribute.
- Work: Some work is beyond price. Work must be redefined to value whatever it takes to raise healthy children, build strong families, revitalize neighborhoods, make democracy work, advance social justice, and make the planet sustainable. That kind of work needs to be honored, recorded, and rewarded.
- Reciprocity: Helping works better as a two-way street. The question: How can I help you? Needs to change so we ask: “How can we help each other build the world we both will live in?”
- Social Networks: We need each other. People helping each other reweave communities of support, strength, and trust. Community is built upon sinking roots, building trust, creating networks that are built on mutual respect and commitment.
- Respect: Respect demands accountability. The voices of all must be heard and heeded so as to promote social justice and compel accountability.
