UNV Online Volunteering Assignments Feed

Last November, I submitted a question about a feed of assignments. I got this response:

Unfortunately, it is not possible yet to have RSS feeds.

I also replied, but no future response back, possibly that’s a no-reply email. Later, I decided to write a feed generator. Now, here it is, although I took one and a half month to start writing this program.

You can subscribe to this feed via Feedburner, or Add to Google.

However, this is the first post and also the last. I don’t want to explain the history or political issues here, all I want to say are “Let me proudly say my future nation’s name.
