By Daniel Francavilla, Founder, ACCESS: Allowing Children a Chance at Education, Inc.
Most of us use popular social networking sites such as Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter for staying in touch with friends and meeting new people. But the rapidly growing Web 2.0, including blogs and video sharing sites, also provides an incredible venue for non-profits and youth to promote important causes. Don’t think this is the case? If you’ve ever seen a message like “Click Here to Save Darfur” or “Make Genocide History in 2009” on your screen, you’re a part of it!

The workshop has been conducted at various schools and special events, including:
