Thank you Fernanda Ibarra. We met almost two years ago when we took the online facilitation workshop with Nancy White. We connected on Facebook. Fernanda lives in Mexico, we've never met face-to-face. Quote from her profile.
My expertise is diverse. I am a multiplayer giving a lot of focus into the Web (online communities, socialnetworks, collaborative learning). I really like process arts and tools that serve collectives to manage their complexity.
What is interesting to me is this cross-social network communication. I suspect there are not a lot of people who are using many different social networking sites and web2.0 tools. I also know that my friends are slightly different on each Social Networking site - there is a cross-over for sure. I don't know how much and I don't know what the valued added is in terms of reach or perhaps influence. Is this another strategy point? Identify those key network weavers?
Context
Contribute to my latest personal fundraising campaign to support Leng Sopharath, an orphan from Cambodia, for her junior year at college. My family has sponsored her college costs for her freshman and sophomore years.
Coming up with the $1,000 donation to the Sharing Foundation which manages the program is a stretch. That's why I'm asking for my friends on Facebook and beyond to help. If 100 Facebook friends (or their friends) donate $10 (or more - so I can get back to regularly scheduled blogging on other topics and client work) and spread the word to their friends, we can change her life forever!
But don't take my word for it. Over the summer, I had an opportunity to meet her in person. In her dorm room, she had photos of our family and my letters to her on the wall. She spoke about how much our support makes a difference in her life.
To make it more enticing, if you are among the first 30 to contribute, I'll add you as a top friend on my Facebook profile. (Only if the app works, your privacy settings don't prevent it, and of course, we're become friends.) All contributors will be graciously thanked on my blog. I'm, of course, experimenting with person-to-person fundraising on Facebook and I'll share my learnings here.
What a deal for $10 or more! Donate now. Spread the word! Share this link on your Facebook profile.
