Four months have passed and finally, this is the last session of GNML. I've learned a lot of things in GNML, especially how to use social media to promote the campaign of social issues in my country. Blogger helped me in expressing my views on the campaign that I've done. Through posting in my blog, I got so many feedbacks and I'm able to share my ideas to people around the world. Twitter has provided me a quick yet meaningful way to promote my campaign. Through hashtags and tweets, I am able to share my opinions with others in a fun way!
GNML has also introduced me to make a YouTube account and actually be active in uploading videos in it. It felt wonderful to me when my audiences said that my video left some good impacts in them.
When we move to the facebook session, the question is not about "who doesn't use facebook?" but it's about "who already use facebook for the improvements of the society?" Facebook page is an excellent way to promote our social campaign, since almost everyone, from kids to elder, uses facebook right now.
Although Instagram can still be considered as a new application, the number of people who use it are growing rapidly. That way, campaigning through series of pictures in Instagram can be a great way to attract our audiences, especially the youth one.
I've heard of LinkedIn a lot of times, but never really gotten the chance to explore it before I joined GNML. When I got the chance to make the account on LinkedIn, I was both excited and mesmerized on the way LinkedIn can connect a lot of people from so many career. I think that it's a great way to connect with professionals and experienced people in our field to improve the social campaigns that we are doing.
So far, I enjoyed my time in GNML. I could never forget how GNML has changed me into a better person and turned me to have wider perspectives on things. I will surely miss my GNML peeps.
Go for GNML, go for a better life!!!!

Inclusive School--why not?
http://www.theguardian.com/sustainable-business/inclusive-education-priority-global-development
To be honest, I was in awestruck when I read this article. MILLIONS of children with disabilities still have not gotten the chance to receive education. But I also love the part when the writer wrote about his experience when he went to an Inclusive School in Africa and helped those who are really determined in pursuing education, no matter what.
There is a quote that inspired me from the article.
"We can all work together to make education a reality for all, subsequently helping young adults to realise their potential in the workplace."

Special education teacher strives to help students

I love seeing how Mrs. Murdoch worked compassionately to teach her special students at STRIVE program. The program helps special students aged 19-21 develop transitional skills for independent living, vocational training and social communication. In Indonesia, there are several Inclusive schools, but I had never heard about something like STRIVE program, where they stayed in an apartment during the day and learned basic skills to do activities in the day. It's great to see that the students do a lot of volunteering and visit public places too.

Stand up for education!
“parents have the primary responsibility for raising and providing for their children,” but when that parent doesn’t provide or is unable to, we need to account for that and offer assistance.
http://www.greenbaypressgazette.com/article/20131228/GPG0602/312280314/Editorial-Education-key-fighting-poverty?nclick_check=1
Education is one of the most important aspects of humans' lives. Not many people is as lucky as us to get the access to quality education. Therefore, we need to stand up and do something to conquer the poverty through education.
Have a great weekend!
