Nonprofit Tech for Good

JULY 20, 2010

I wasn’t convinced at all that the world needed another blogger. Nonprofit bloggers should think of themselves as reporters, and a very popular blog is always a report back on an event complete with a photo slideshow or video. Allow guest bloggers to share expertise and experience. Share resources. Write your own.

I launched a bloggers campaign as part of the Sharing Foundation's America Giving Challenge. The children sat at their desks, quietly writing the khmer letters on their little chalk boards. The students are the children of the poorest families of Roteang Village and who participate in the Sharing Foundation's farm project.

If you know my work, you know I have a strong connection to Cambodia because I adopted two beautiful children from the country who are now teenagers. In 2007, I was the first person to use Twitter to fundraise so I could attend and help sponsor the first Cambodia Bloggers Conference.

For 24 hours starting tomorrow, Saturday, July 25th at 6:00 AM PT, 195 bloggers will be posting on their blogs every 30 minutes to raise money for the charity of their choice as part of the 2009 Blogathon. Seems like a great idea for nonprofits to promote to their supporters who are already bloggers, or who want an excuse to start a blog.
