Time to Transform with Tech Tanod
Hello, friends!
Remember the #BangonPinoy hashtag, when we all added it to the end of our tweets to raise funds for victims of Typhoons Ondoy and Pepeng? The goal of Globe and the Philippine Blog Awards was to raise P400,000 for the victims. Guess what: we managed to collect P409,000 in donations!
With that huge amount, we can start to rebuild the lives of victims in severely affected areas. Together with RockEd and other non-government organizations, Globe and the Philippine Blog Awards will help rebuild communities in a innovative, far-reaching, and long-lasting way: TECH TANOD.
Tech Tanod is an initiative that will use the Internet to spread the message of information advocacy through awareness and education. Tech Tanod aims to unite communities through the power and reach of technology.
One of the projects of Tech Tanod is a four-month education course on Writing, Blogging, and Information Advocacy. Twenty (20) individuals will be trained to become netizens, and sow the seeds for an online community to help with rehabilitation efforts. The Tech Tanod Team will donate netbooks and laptops to aid in education and empowerment efforts for the four-month campaign.
Tech Tanod was officially launched on December 20, 2009, at the Jesuit Communications Building at Ateneo de Manila University. Bloggers, volunteers, and other individuals and groups came to talk about the program, and participate in discussions that will ensure that Tech Tanod is a success.
