Background
Both my daughters, Melissa and Gabriella is interested in children of the Worlds wellbeing for as long they have had a conscious of their own. And both of them have their courage to help others is and has always been strong. For me as their father and engaged in Charities this is wonderful and makes me even more proud of my daughters.
The project
This is my daughter Gabriella’s final year in High school, and during that year they have a project of their own to do. Gabriella has decided that she wants to go to Ghana in Africa and be a voluntary at an orphanage in Ghana, not only to get the experience herself but also to inspire other to do the same.
To be able to do this she needs to get financing for her project as both her mother and I’m current unemployed and have limited possibilities to support her for this project. So Gabriella decided to ask me, her father to help her find a solution for her problem. So I have done that now, and decided to do it this way, reaching out to my online community for support.
Also Gabriella’s mother Anna is involved in this project, she has done the design of Gabriella’s blog.
Besides being a charity/humanitarian project it’s also a learning process for Gabriella as she will learn how to blog, see the power online networks and understand how important this way of communication is today.
How too help
To help Gabriella in her strive to make a difference, go to her blog and read her own words:
Giving by Doing – Gabriella goes to Ghana
Thanks for your time and I hope you want to help Gabriella!
Getting back on track as fall hits us slowly and it’s time to do business again, or do it more intense than during the Summer vacations. I have started to monitor my streams, blogs and twitterflows again more than I have been doing the past months. One day on facebook this photo turned up in my friend Sheryl Breuker-Camp’s stream. And it was like an epiphany to me to realize this, and that it was one thing I had been understanding long time ago myself. 
Enterprises, when they act as a persona will take on the same attitude as consumer.. But this all comes down to the enterprise being able to apply proper Socialmedia strategies and allowing employees to act and interact accordingly.
Sweden Social Webcamp 2010
This past weekend the Sweden Social Webcamp was held for the second year around. SSWC as it’s called for short as a large unconference that is held on an isolated island, Tjärö in Blekinge archipelago. This year we were 408 persons (Last year about 278) working with online web, marketing, social web and just people interested in Social web that met up there. The unconference format gives everybody a possibility to have a slot and talk about something interesting, or just use it as a brainstorming session. This year I held two session, the first one was about Socialmedia Club and the second one was ‘Internet for parents’. The latter I’m doing together with two friends now, starting next week and it’s a lecture for parents about Social web, gaming and how we as parents can be present with our children in the online media World.
Freeing my mind – going ahead
For me was SSWC this year also an injection to start of with new ideas and pursue new possibilities. So the first thing I’m doing now is to launch a blog in Swedish that will be my professional platform and tool for me to sell my services. As I said it will be in Swedish so my International friends will not be able to follow it. The reason for this is naturally that even if Swede’s in general is good readers/speakers of English, the majority reads only Swedish information. Plus I need to show of higher in search results on the Swedish market. My new blog: Anders Sporring – Media Konsultant http://sporring.biz no content there yet, but very soon I will fill it with content.
Result driven – Result given
I’m also now turning from result driven to result given, and now your starting to wonder what I’m talking about, right? Well, since I started of in my new career as a Socialmedia Facilitator I haven’t had so much assignments, this spring I worked for one of our political parties with their online web school for their members. Mostly short online lectures on how to use WordPress MU, Google docs, Facebook and Twitter. I also did some lectures on various levels for them live. But besides this there’s been just short small assignments, and a part of the problem is that I’m not that good in selling me. So now I will meet a coach that specializes in sales and closures of sales, to learn that trade and skill set needed to be better. I have been given 3-4 hours for free with one of the best in the field that I have in my network. So… now I will start to be result driven instead!
