Roderick's Munchkin skills
This is Roderick's actual Munchkin offer.
The full catalogue of skills I can offer in accordance with Munchkin principles: “pay or reciprocate whatever feels right after the work is complete”.
Contact me to discuss availability.
The Munchkin Movement enables people to bring their whole selves and skills into the world, creating value, strengthening community and helping to make the world a better place. Recipients are invited to offer whatever payment, gift or reciprocal contribution feels right to them.
P.S. If you like the concept, you can become a Munchkin too!
