GNML session 10

Blogger is the main component in my “Social Media for Social change” project as it shows all of my works, ideas, and has links to my social websites. This is one of the websites where everybody can easily go through my posts and get general idea of what I’m doing.

Twitter is another useful tool to develop my work. Mostly, I will use it as a informational website for me, because I can find there a lot of useful thing through hush tags.

Youtube provides with videos over the world, which makes it endless source of information to help my project. I’m planning to watch other’s ideas, works, and projects tangent to mine and learn a lot of useful things.

I’ve been using facebook for a long time and familiar with idea how it works. A lot of people advertise their products, services, and ideas on facebook. And it is probably the most famous website for such things. I can both to introduce my work and find useful resources through it.

Instagram is the best way to keep track of my progression with my project, I will take photos and post them on my website through instagram. It is the quickest and easiest way for me to do so.

LinkedIn looks more formal for me. I think it will help me a lot with finding people who I will work with or other people can look at my profile and decide work with me. 

GNML seession 10

I’ve learned so many useful techniques while completing GNML sessions. Thanks for that a lot.  I think the most rewarding skill is usage of social media to improve and develop your project, make it known for other others, and find supportive people to realize plans. As my country has a lot of issues to solve, it was challenging for me to find the appropriate project to develop.  I’ve learned that there are always opportunities to help other people, as my project is about helping orphanages. I’ve read many articles about helping orphans and inferred that people just don’t know how many different approaches they can find to help orphans.  

This article about Geralda Marcelus who lost her parents at a young age and was grown up in Calvary Cross Orphanage in Pingnon. She studied hard and took highest score in graduation exam, she was the first girl who did that. So three churches will help her became a nurse at college, which is her dream. It is very inspiring she could achieve such result despite the conditions she was in.

JOPLIN, MO is a openhearted girl and she is only at age seven. She asked her parents to buy her tennis shoes and wants to give them to orphanage "La Casa De Mi Padre" in Salvador. Right now she has 16 pairs, but hopes to get more. The orphanage has 24 kids at age from 5 to 21. So she collects shoes at any size. This is the thing I've never thought about, such articles supposed to motivate our generation to high goals.

Villeneuve undaunted, despite last September's terrorist attack


Jacqueline Villeneuve opened orphanage in Sudbury, Kenya. Now she continues working with her orphans despite the terrorist attack in last September. She has about 20 kids from two to seventeen. She is so attached to them as she calls them her "children". She participates in fundraisers to gather money for her orphans. It is really inspiring article about her passion to help kids.

The next article brought me by Google Alerts is about a group of volunteers from Pathway Ministries traveled to Venezuela earlier this year to help support a children's orphanage.There were only few people who were going to mission trip, but then there was a lot of interest from people from the church and whole group went to Venezuelan orphanage. The trip sparked so much interest that the church will again send a group to the orphanage in the summer of 2014 to help build a school for Samuel's House.

It is all about how interesting event can provoke people's feelings to contribute to it as in previous situation. Now, I can say that it is very necessary to gather a lot of people in order to start my socially useful program, but the main thing is to create really exciting and bright program then many people would like to contribute to my project.

I've recently read following article that is almost the same as previous one, but the more I read about such thing the more ideas appear in my mind. I find new ways to help to orphanages in my city. One thing I've known from reading those article is even though I don't have enough money, I can still organize charitable events in order to gather things, food, money from my social community.

A West Lothian couple volunteered in Africa and raised £4,500, which they gather from their local community,  for orphanage in Uganda. Their money were spent to built sanitation block for taking shower and toilet. Also people donated pencils and toys to orphans. In addition those children hadn't simple things such as mattresses, it would be great to provide them with such things. Also couple, both are retired teachers...
