Hi. In this post I want to talk and share with everyone my experience from the past 5 months. For the past week I have been reflecting about my participation in the Global New Media Lab Online Program, and there are some thoughts I want to share in this post.
Through the GNML program I have learned how to use the most powerful social media platforms to initiate and raise awareness for my social change campaign. So far, the platforms I have used in the past months are Blog, Twitter, Google Alerts,YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn, where I gave my best to promote and find support for the project. The best tool I used during the program is YouTube, which helped me learn how to make my own videos and share them with the world. In this way, the people in my community saw the videos and gave me their thoughts and ideas. Blogger is the other platform that worked as well for me, and allowed me to promote the campaign here, in my American community. With Blogger I learned that it is so easy to have people reading and appreciating what you post on your blog.
Another social platform that partially helped me is Facebook, and I say partially because even if Facebook is a big online platform, it is not as popular in my home country, and not so many people from my country found out about my Facebook page dedicated to the Campaign. But I think that Facebook can be as helpful as the other social media platforms!
Some other ways to promote my campaign in the online world are Twitter, Instagram and LinkedIn. Unfortunately, Twitter and Instagram are not used platforms in my country and people don't really know about them, and it is very hard for me to promote this through these platform. But all my hopes are relying now on LinkedIn, where I have created a professional profile and try to connect with as many people as possible and find someone interested in helping me with the project. I know that LinkedIn is a powerful website where I can find the support I need.
I want to thank Dr. Rob and the GNML staff for the great work and support they have for me and for all the other students in the program. They have helped me start a campaign for a social change, and thanks to what they taught me, now my project is going to be finalized. GNML Online is one of the best programs I have participated and I am really happy for being part of it.
Thank You.

I am glad to share with you today some news related to my campaign about water. The city of Cullman has approved $4.1 million for a "green" improvement of the water systems in the city. It is a similar project to mine, and it gives me again the hope that my project can be done. Please visit the following link if you want to read the full article about the City of Cullman.
