Follow, Follow, Tweet Tweet (realities of microblogging)

Microblogs like Twitter are a great vehicle to help organize political demonstrations in countries run by corrupt governments (and an effective way to spread misinformation), but how can nonprofit organizations, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), libraries, government programs, and other mission-based organizations really use microblogs to promote their work, increase attendance at an event, get donations or mobilize or support volunteers?

EduIcan Sharing Knoweldge

We are faced with education challenges in my country Namibia mostly in government schools and schools in rular areas. What I'm trying to do is establish a networking system where students can share ideas and assist each others on home work and school projects. This will be a connection between students in the whole country and will bring interactionb among students from public schools and private schools. I want to use the Instant Messaging Service that will automaticaly deliver messages to all registered students within a certain subject.

I need help on Instant Messaging servers and softwares

DonorsChoose

URL: 
www.donorschoose.org
Project Description: 

DonorsChoose is a nonprofit organization which facilitates support for education in the American public school system. Teachers can submit school project proposals on the website in any of the following categories: math & science, literacy & history, arts & music, physical education, field trips, and more. Individual donors, called Citizen Philanthropists, select which projects to fund, either partially or in full.

Once a Citizen Philanthropist chooses a school project to support, DonorsChoose delivers the requested resources to the school. The teacher documents the funded education project using a disposable camera (also provided by DonorsChoose), and sends back the camera with hand-written thank you notes from the students involved. DonorsChoose develops the project photos and sends them with an expenditure report, a letter from the teacher, as well as the students' thank you notes to the donor(s).
