Half the Sky Online Community Survey

A while back we told you about our plans for creating a truly global online community – to bring our work in China closer to those who make it all possible. When we shared our ideas with orphanage directors in China, they were excited. Besides all the new learning opportunities that Half the Sky is planning to offer them online, they are very eager to have a connection with the world beyond institutional walls.

In November, we brought orphanage directors and HTS China together, brainstormed and took plenty of notes. Now it’s your turn. Won’t you share your ideas with us? What would make the Half the Sky website a real, living community for you?
