What do you think are the most important skills necessary in a social media practitioner? Though many of the countries we work in are talked about in the news (DR Congo, Iraq, Afghanistan, Sudan), some aren’t as well-known (Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Nigeria) and we often need to explain why operating in these countries is important.
The way we do that is by asking every single woman around the world to sponsor one woman at a time by sending her $27 a month, along with a letter to start a communication link between the two women. She also goes through a vocational skills and business skills training track, where it ends up giving her tangible skills, so she can get a job.
My favorite social action was being a sponsor for Jacinta Onoro, a Nigerian woman participating in Women for Women International. Women for Women International supports women survivors of war in conflict and post-conflict areas (Afghanistan, Bosnia, Herzegovina, Democratic Republic of Congo, Iraq, Kosovo, Nigeria, Rwanda, and Sudan).
The show ended, and I immediately signed up to be a Women for Women International sponsor. In small groups, the women learned basic business and marketing skills. They enrolled in special job skills classes designed to meet the market needs of their community. women war nonprofit survivor
