Genesis is really trying to open up our discussion to our supporters to see what they are most interested in through Twitter and Facebook. I found it interesting how you mentioned that most nonprofits are "boring" to follow. We are trying to make our tweets more interesting and thought provoking in order to generate discussion. We are also developing a social network through www.gnetwork.org so donors can connect directly with beneficiaries. This helps with our transparency so donors can see where their money is going. Loved all your points made and can't wait to see what else you have to say about Philanthropy 2.0! Great points!

I agree that there is an important emotional component to work in social change and that neither emotions or intellectualism is sufficient in creating progress. If I'm ever in Rajasthan, I'll be sure to email you. :) Cheers, Tony Hi Gungun,

Your write up has started the thinking wheel within me so THANKS alot. another is that probably you will hvae to understand that strategic thinking and meticulous approach towards work go hand in hand. ALso that the integrity within an individual will bring strategic thinking, which brings further accountability towards masses. but at the same time high sensitivity levels r must. SO probably its just not about planning and approaching, its also about the FEELING part of social work, which can be only successful when the planner and thinker adores the fellow beings he is working with and working for. dear Tony
