A Good End to #GNMLph

1- REFLECTION

  GNML has been an amazing learning platform for me, in this exchange year. Without going anywhere, I, not only collected ideas for a Social Campaign, but also met so many wonderful future leaders, who's passion and ideas build up a whole community of VOLUNTEERS.

  Beginning from my, one, narrow idea, I met so many other individuals, read their comments, saw their plans, and considering all of those, finally am confident about my project- My Social Media for Social Change Campaign.

   I got command over certain social media (YouTube, LinkedIn e.t.c) that I have never used before, purposely, for a specific reason. They all have given me a platform to share my idea, my mission and encourage the sense of help among people themselves.

  The most interesting part was to watch introduction videos by our trainers, which actually motivated me to work hard and get command over the respective social media. 

  I found quite challenges, while embedding Facebook, Instagram and twitter account on my Blog. I used to write blogs before that, but these challenges gave me more command over this social media. 

2- EMBEDS

  All my social media feeds are embed on my blog. I am finding few difficulties with my instagram account, but it will surely be updated soon.

3- LINKS

  These are links towards my social media pages:

• YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6QLGa9Q7os&feature=youtu.be

• Twitter: @azimadhanjee

• Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/letsworkforthedifferentlyabled?notif_t=page_new_likes

  Though this is an end of the sessions, I am still looking forward to communicate with you all to gather more ideas and be friends forever. Nothing makes me more happy, than having friends, belonging to different part of this world (GLOBAL VILLAGE)

4- FINAL REFLECTION

• Blogger: When planning a project, nothing is more useful than, brainstorming your ideas, reading some sources and then writing it down (drafted). It helps you to put your thoughts together and make your planning strong, as well as, ever lasting. Blogger not only gave me opportunity to do all this, but to get connected to the world out there, and give them an opportunity to read and give a thought to it. Positive criticism helped me to shape my project much better.

• Twitter: I got connected to so many other organizations working for Differently-abled people, through twitter. It also gave me an opportunity to get volunteers for my project and meet other GNMLph participants, working to make a change.

• YouTube: I would always watch videos but never though about making some. YouTube video, actually helped me to explain my project, myself and face a larger audience. It gave me a lot of confidence, too.

• Facebook: Facebook is one of the most used, social media. By putting my project out there, I got a lot of volunteers  and people who support this idea, back home (In Pakistan). I can now easily share pictures, videos and ideas, which will surely reach to a lot of people who are following this page. 

• Instagram: Pictures are the best emotional form of explanation. By putting pictures on instagram , a lot of people got attracted, and also interested to use social media for someone's betterment or helping the society.

• LinkedIn: I have never used LinkedIn before. Now, I have an idea, how to get sponsors and business organization, known about my project. I can now even take some ideas and further use it to improve my project. I can now say that I am proud to be working PROFESSIONALLY. 

It has been a pleasure, learning online and meeting so many people. Indeed GNMLph is going to be, one of my exchange year's best highlights. Thank You!

DIFFERENT THOUGHTS- DIFFERENT APPROACHES

I was scrolling down, different google/RSS feeds, and found this amazing blog post by an ignorant citizen, who then educated himself about differently-abled people and how he looks toward them.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/rabbi-sid-schwarz/a-jewish-approach_b_4859991.html

In this post, he mentions how people in Jerusalem (his country) approaches this condition. He highlights all the doubts people have regarding this issue and why they don't treat differently -abled people, with the same amount of respect, as anyone else. He highlights the culture and personality of people, but then remind everyone that being ignorant is not a perfect vision. He specifically mentions, 'If we take to heart the Jewish teaching about every person made in the image of God and recall that one person is no better nor worse than the other, simply "differently-abled" we might be better able to open up our hearts, and our institutions to a wider swath of humanity.'

I would really encourage you all to read this post and then take out time for the video which shows God's words, regarding this issue. 

This post actually helps my project as people's view and reasons for ignorance towards approaching differently-abled people, is really important to be mentioned and help them to fight with this fear. After all, we all are HUMANS and the SAME.
