In the summer of 1998, I signed up for a three-week long volunteer project on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota.

They were facing issues ranging from fetal alcohol syndrome to abuse and neglect.

We are in SOS ASAP need for--

• a Home page
• an About page
• a blog format that allows Twitter, FB feeds, and is heavy in growing community integration, and a forum.
• help with getting our poster viral, would be nifty :)

Honestly, I'd be ecstatic right now just for the home page with an attached easy blog.

Creating Social Change is a project of Global Partnerships for Activism & cross-cultural Training. The purpose of this blog will be to share our knowledge, encounters and interests about the process of creating social change. Articles should be useful to the end user and assist them in learning more about running their own projects.

What can I do with Creating Social Change?
