(My advice to the podcast's producers is to put in some success stories too, or listeners will suffer compassion fatigue after a while and stop listening). Foundations need to see nonprofits and NGO's having a podcast or blog, in addition to traditional communication tools, as part of the nonprofit or NGO's mission.

I remember at the 2005 Global Voices Summit, Rebecca MacKinon made a toast to everyone and jokingly said that those who are involved with Global Voices will never lack for dining companions no matter where they go in the world. I look pretty good for being a plane for over 24 hours. Mothers are the same all over the world!

I saw this opportunity to help humanize voices in the digital realm and not just create pop-up communities but communicate with intention." Maybe you shouldn''t look for an NGO "out there" but ask their employees and own audience what causes THEY care about. Just like a corporation can''t force people to be your consumers.

In December I wrote a book review of Monique and the Mango Rains , the story of a Peace Corps worker's two years working with a midwife in Mali. The project is part of the start-up NGO, “Mali Health Organizing Project” (MHOP, not to be confused with a Malian conglomerate of IHOP. What is the biggest challenge of your work?

People want to hear real people’s stories and see photos of the town they are giving to, so she posted stories and had a Flickr photo stream. She called blogs, wikis and Skype/VoIP, “technology with heart,” tools that allow people to help one another and to, “give real information, in real time, with real voices.”

Probably the most amusing mobile story of 2016 was the overnight success of the Nintendo Pokémon Go scavenger hunt mobile app and how nonprofits attempted to use it for a hot minute.

We first connected back in 2004 when I started my first blog on Cambodia and was covering the Cambodian Blogosphere for Global Voices. When I was in Cambodia last summer, John hosted a blogger’s meet up. When learned about Giving Tuesday , he offered to share an inspiring story about giving back. So just what is “Give 10”?

We get stories from dads, moms and daughters telling us how our website and our Daughters publication have helped them. Although I knew adults would be involved, I wanted New Moon to express girls’ voices and dreams and ambitions, rather than adult goals for them. How do you know you are making a difference?

From the Arab Spring to Black Lives Matter, from the Ice Bucket Challenge to the Woman’s March, many of today’s most effective movements are less about single charismatic voices and more about the power of the chorus. How we advance causes, how we share our voices, how we connect. Technology. How we live our lives. My Passion.

They shared stories from their experience there, and talked about how they are trying to do development and social change work differently. Was there any individual vignette, or story, or person, or something that happened, that really touched you? From that point, my path shifted. This is a history in the making.

And hopefully, at the end of the day, we’re helping them realize their ability to positively impact the world around them – that it doesn’t take much, that you don’t have to call yourself an activist or whatever, but that you do have a stake in this world, your voice is powerful and can be easily used.

While direct mail may be declining in some markets since its heyday in the 90s it is still an effective form of direct communication to raise funds and the NGO brand. Our children likewise will have a story to tell their grandchildren. I think it is wonderful that Mal Warwick continues to be the voice of traditional direct mail.

So, yes, I think the Global NGO Technology Report found the majority of nonprofits do agree social media is effective for creating brand awareness. So this is Snapchat, Instagram Stories, Facebook Stories, content that disappears in 24 hours. And it’ll be reminding me, “Hey, this person has posted a story.

When I read the papers, listen to the news, hear stories through my network of friends who are activists all over the world about injustices, I get really fired up and want to do whatever I can to help! Use your voice! What keeps you motivated and energized to do this work? After you have done your research, don’t keep it to yourself.
