SeedsBook: Modern technology helps Seeds overcome challenges
Crossing international borders to conduct face-to-face programming is not always possible. However, Seeds of Peace is using the power of modern technology to overcome some of these physical obstacles. In 2007, we launched SeedsBook, a social networking site modeled after the popular Facebook website. In this password-protected online setting accessible only to Seeds, they are able to communicate in chat rooms hosted by a moderator (typically a Seeds of Peace staff member). Users are able to upload photos and video messages, and staff are able to post notices, reports and updates for the Seeds.
Each Seed is also asked to create a profile, allowing Seeds of Peace to keep up-to-date on how to reach its alumni. Nearly 1,000 Seeds have signed onto SeedsBook, and it is continuing to gain popularity.
Note to Seeds: Seeds wishing to join SeedsBook should complete the contact information form and check the box for the SeedsBook question near the end of the form.
"Seeds of Peace, you are no longer a miracle in the Maine woods. You have found your way into the larger world in so many different ways, and you are forging your own path to peace."
