What is it?

S4G, the un-mediated, not moderated social platform

Have you ever thought you have something to “express” with a social dimension but never had the opportunity to do it?

Then S4G is what you are looking for:

  • Open, unrestricted and easy to use
  • Three mediums to choose from: TEXT, VIDEO, PHOTO
  • A way to express your ideas, reflections and expertise, on social issues and broader development and society at large
  • You do not need to be an expert but just passionate about what you share

I never knew how much Muhammad Ali meant to me.  Today I was watching a  few videos about Ali on CNN, he really changed things, much more than any athlete during his time and set the stage for speaking out on social issues.  Possibly with some of the  athletes living with a disability in Nepal they can become spokespersons for disability rights. I was thinking about Prem who is such a good athlete.  After a recent League game I said you are so good but like Michael Jordan you need to help make your teammates better.
