ASSIGNMENT 02

VARIOUS CHALLENGES I ENCOUNTERED WITH REGARDS TO ACQUIRING AN ONLINE PRESENCE FOR MY NGO

Firstly, looking for a NGO to work with is a job on its own and it was even harder for me because the NGO I am working with already has an active online presence. I had to come up with alternative names for the blogsite as well as for all the social media platforms because the NGO has active social media platforms already, having to create different accounts and to also ensure that those accounts do not duplicate their brands credibility or mislead the NGOs followers was very challenging for me.

another challenge that I encountered was the type of NGO that I wanted to work with or associate with as  I was doing my research I found that there are some that I did not relate to or were just not speaking to me naturally, also having to choose between so many NGOs that have already been doing so well was hard and even harder to have to prove to them what my assignment was to gain their trust was quite a challenge for me.

I had to explain to the founder of Hope SA Foundation the purpose of the blogsite which was also challenging because she is a very busy woman understandably so, getting feedback from her took some time but I was very happy by how she managed to find time to assist me with information that I needed and even gave me more insights, tips and feedback on the contents of the blogsite.
