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

Child Protection
Thousands of young foreigners every year come to Nepal to volunteer in children homes. Their motivations and goals are praiseworthy but there are some risks involved and some sort of regulation or better self regulations are needed. A balanced approach is possible while the government of Nepal should legalize and regulate this self made type of international volunteerism.

I would like to discuss that it might be best to let go of ideas that we might not possibly turn them into reality. ;evolusun
