The organization launched a grassroots challenge to recruit 1,000 pledges in 10 days and use their collective voices to make a positive impact for small farmers. Using social media, their remarkable efforts paid off. They were able to surpass their goal and also raise money in support of KickStart, an organization that provides affordable irrigaton pumps to rural farmers in Africa. Visit the One to 1,000 Challenge page to learn more. Amazing content – but only 92 likes!! So how do we better engage?? - but putting things on gates home page = not where people live and interact.Different content – crying babies….?!TEDxChange – great example of engagement
