Daniel Dickens of HelpArgentina stops to by discuss how technology, social networking, and (briefly) cows have contributed to his organization's success. HelpArgentina is a Buenos Aires-based bridge between the international community of social investors and transparent, effective Argentinian NGOs and charitable organizations.
Having developed a network of 53 NGOs and charitable organizations in its 4 years of operation, HelpArgetina has stepped up to the challenge of aiding a country recovering from a major economic crisis by engaging Argentinian communities throughout the world. Daniel tells us about how his organization applied several Web 2.0 tools to house parties in 24 cities, drawing in over 1200 supporters contributing to 26 Argentinian social causes.
"Bridge" diaspora philanthropy organizations have succeeded in other parts of the world as well, including Mumbai-based Give India and the Rio de Janeiro-based Brazil Foundation.
