“What is at stake with time banks — as exercises in the ‘economy of favors,’ as defined in Spain, or alternative transformative collaborative economies, or any other adjective used to describe a time-based exchange mechanism — is breaking the illusion that only money can generate wealth.” - Humberto Salazar, Asociacion Ibero-Americana de Bancos de Tiempo (ASIBDT) This powerful insight is shared in the 4TH WORLD REPORT OF TIME BANKS, published by ASIBDT to celebrate 25 years of British Time Banks. ASIBDT President Julio Gisbert writes: “The report is presented in three languages—Spanish, Portuguese, and English—where Time Banks from around the world have collaborated, foretelling what I hope will be a productive and fruitful collaboration among all of us in favor of this philosophy and this unstoppable movement for social and community cohesion and citizen empowerment.” 🌍 Read the report in English here: https://hubs.la/Q02YryCw0 #timeBanking #CommunityWealth #timeexchange #community #timebanks

About us
The mission of TimeBanks.Org is to promote equality and build caring community economies through inclusive exchanges of time and talents. TimeBanks.Org (formerly TimeBanks USA) was founded in 1995 as a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization office is located in Washington D.C. What is Timebanking? Timebanking is a way of giving and receiving to build supportive networks and strong communities. One hour helping another earns one Timebank Hour (also called time credits, service credits or time dollars.) Timebanking builds on the magic of “pay it forward,” one good turn leading to another and another. We are working with timebank leaders across the US and internationally to strengthen and rebuild community, and use timebanks to achieve wide-ranging goals such as social justice, bridges between diverse communities, and local ecological sustainability.
