On Tuesday there was a guest speaker she was called Ms Caroline and she came from Action Aid Cambodia. She made a tree and wrote a problem on the trunk. In the roots we said all the reasons for the problem. On top of the tree in the branches we wrote what happened in the problem. Around it we put all the actions we could take.
She told me to stand up and persuade someone and I picked Moto and I told him that all children have the right to go to school. He agreed and he told someone else and then I told someone else and then it kept on going.Then within a few minutes the whole room was sharing the message. I realised that just by talking to people you can persuade them to help and do something. I also realised that you can send a message very quickly around the world by talking to people and putting your message on a blog or twitter.
My message is to you, we should all take action to help someone by sharing and communicating messages that can make things change.

Estela, Awesome post, I think that using the internet to take action can be incredibly powerful. You're right the more you can persuade people to take your side the more likely things are to change. If this is true, that means that the more people you have access to means you can change things more effectively.
ReplyDeleteBut like most things we have to be responsible, we have to make sure we are persuading people about sustainable options.
How are you going to start sharing your knowledge?
