When Social Media is used to make a difference (YouTube) -- Part I

  Read an article about youtube videos that made a difference and one video attracted me, when Shawn Ahmed started to post videos on YouTube under the name of 'The uncultured project' to raise awareness around the world about Global Poverty, those videos were in different places such as Bangladesh focusing on poverty, child labor and education. Those videos had turned into a mean for charity.
People watched those videos and started to make donations. What I liked that He posted Twitpics for donators to show them how their donations made a difference for kids.



After watching that video, I'm amazed by the success of those videos that brought happiness to those kids, they are learning in neat, clean place with a ceiling. They painted the school with their fave paint color 'Blue' and they are now drinking clean water. That was a pure example of how Social Media was used as a mean for Charity.
