#BeKind21: Thank a Teacher
Today’s #BeKind21 message is from Pencils of Promise.
At Pencils of Promise, our mission is to provide access to quality education for all. Our Teacher Support program ensures teachers are supported and trained to create learning environments where students will be set up for success. The curriculum includes digital learning and social-emotional learning to create an engaging environment where children can feel safe, affirmed, and validated.
The Ghana Teacher Prize is an annual celebration by the Ghanaian government of teachers and their contributions to educational development. Awards focused on “Teacher leadership in developing crisis education response.” Last fall, the Best Kindergarten Teacher award went to Ms. Felicia Ahotor from the Kpando Kpodzi E.P. Primary School in the Volta Region. An educator of over 17 years, she credits PoP’s school building as a factor in winning the award.
“It has helped to reduce absenteeism among the kids. First, they didn’t like coming to school because the old building was not attractive to them. But now, every day they are in school. In the new building, now we have displayed a lot of TLMs (Teaching and Learning Materials) in the classroom so that anytime the teacher is absent, the children can do individual learning.”
Your kindness challenge today: We’ve experienced firsthand the impact education and interactive teaching can have on a student’s life. A school building with access to resources and an engaging teacher can make all the difference. For today’s act of kindness, thank a teacher who has helped you learn, or pay it forward and teach someone something today.
In Kindness.
Pencils of Promise
P.S. Invite someone to join the challenge: bornthisway.foundation/bekind21.

Pencils of Promise creates new hope
Joshua Webber
Prof. Susi
COMM-1400-600
For my Non-Profit Organization, I have chosen Pencils Of Promise (POP).
This charity was created in 2008 by Adam Braun, in order to spread educational awareness throughout the world. This charity focuses on building schools in 3rd world countries where children struggle immensely to gain any type of education. Since its founding in October 2008, the organization has built 554 schools across Laos, Guatemala and Ghana. More than 110,000 students attend the schools globally. https://pencilsofpromise.org
Pencils Of Promise can be found on Instagram, Twitter, Youtube and Facebook.
They’re a very large organization but use a lot of different tactics other than social media to gain donors, such as events across the world, private donors, and even huge companies. This obviously doesn’t mean they don’t use social media as voice to gain audience on the apparent issue. They have large viewer base on most of their social media websites, such as Instagram, with a staggering 200,034 followers. On their Twitter as well, they have over 200k followers (202,700) to be exact. Facebook has 208,978 followers, and 1,164,296 views on YouTube collectively. This shows most people are engaged on the three major social media platforms.
They have a larger following base than like traction to most of their posts or tweets.
Twitter they may have 0-420 comments or 0-500 likes per post. Their Instagram has anywhere between 500-3,000 likes per post, while their comments are from 1-150. Now for Facebook, they have likes per post between 1-157, comments between, 1-47. Pencils Of Promise YouTube however, shows a little more love with 400-243,000 per video.
When researching their vanity metrics, they receive about 44.7k hits monthly and steadily increasing. https://twitter.com/PencilsOfPromis?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor Due to their high follower base on social outlets, they definitely have room for improvement.
I believe they could be more interactive with their viewers and donors on their platforms.
Although huge mainstream celebrities, such as Justin Bieber, DJ BLAU, and the infamous social media king, Gary Vaynerchuk himself have all publicly spoken on and donated to Pencils Of Promise, but that’s not all these influencer’s have actually gone to Guatemala and other 3rd world countries to actually help build these schools. On another side people like DJ BLAU, have taken a different approach using music as a form of donation, while each stream generates revenue that goes towards this charity, they really go into detail about how they work with BLAU’s own streaming service and even Spotify to help the cause. https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/dj-justin-3lau-blau-raises-200000-for-pencils-of-promise-w451896/
Personally I believe if they were to partner with larger groups such as sports teams on national television, they would be able to reach out to millions of more viewers and increase their audience flow tremendously, but they could even start at a lower rate with Tik Tok by creating user friendly videos for children, that would likely show their parents, etc;
As I stated prior, I believe an advanced metric they could work on would be engaging more with their followers on instagram, seeing they don’t have many replies or much activity under their posts. As for a behavioral metric, they are pretty much on top of spreading awareness about their cause and frequently at that if I may add. A channel metric I would suggest would again, be creating more post’s dedicated to a younger audience. In these ways, I believe they would be able to see revenue and viewer engagement beyond what they are currently receiving or even projecting, though this charity is not that old they still have a long road ahead of them, and by implanting these tactics, personally I think they will not only continue to keep increasing their social media outlets, but benefit millions of more children around the world to gain an opportunity for education and freedom.

GIVE $25 for my 25th and make it YOUR BIRTHDAY WISH!! @: https://fundraise.pencilsofpromise.org/fundraise?fcid=885271 This year I've decided to make an unusual birthday wish. I want us to build a school in Korea. I've never shared my birthday wish because as a child, I believed wishes never came true unless it remained unknown. As I get older, I realize just how untrue that is. Pencils of Promise has built over 300 schools in over 18 countries. They began because a homeless child in India shared his wish with Founder Adam Braun. And Adam put his wish into action on his 25th birthday to build a school. I've already launched this for us today by giving a child access to education for 1 year with my meager donation of $25. Share $25 for my 25th! And give for your birthday too! Give because you can and let's build this #school for $25,000 together by 6.4.17. There are currently more than 61 million children without access to education, and together we can do something about it. Education is a cause that's truly important to me, so I'm excited to join the Pencils of Promise movement that empowers lives around the world by building schools for children in need. Please donate and SHARE THIS to help spread the word about my campaign across Facebook, Twitter and to everyone you know. Just $25 allows Pencils of Promise to give a #child access to #education for one year, so I would love you to help me try to #raise as much #money as possible! Together with your support, we'll have the opportunity to make someone's life better. Thanks again for your #support, and remember: While one person can make a change, only #together can we #change the #world. #pencilsofpromise #birthday #wish

Most commonly known as the photographer of the “who’s who” and some of the world's most highly acclaimed entrepreneurs, Nick Onken is a Creative Alchemist whose professional and commercial repertoire has no template or limits. Nick has been commissioned by top tier brands such as Nike, Coca Cola, Adidas and publishers such as Cosmopolitan, Conde Nast Traveller and Marie Claire. His portfolio of photographed personalities includes Justin Bieber, Usher, Tom Hanks, Jessica Alba and Tony Robbins, to name a few. Nick also supports, and photographs for @PencilsOfPromise, a reputable non-profit organization using education as the most powerful tool to change the world. Creativity is diverse and spans beyond the conventional labels we place. Every minute of the day we are creating through moments, experiences, and meaningful interactions, but according to Nick, it's the awareness of this creative journey and its infinite wellness that nourishes us the most. Passionate about connecting people and actively building community, Nick hosts a popular podcast @onkenradio where he interviews personalities that offer “intel and inspo” through provocative and disruptive ideas that enhance our creative flow and upgrade our daily lives. From @JimKwik, on becoming limitless, to @MarkManson on how to prioritize which f*cks to give, Nick's carefully curated lineup of creative A-listers is the source of mental, physical and spiritual exploration for listeners and viewers worldwide. Nick's personal style guide has drawn the attention of many, particularly those adorning his hats @onkenhat. Each one reflecting stories of spiritual awakening, created as signature one-off pieces, right in the heart of Brooklyn. Worn by artists, thought leaders and creatives who are impacting the world. Harnessing the power of momentum and creative flow, Nick Onken leads by example, continually creating and releasing new products lines and collaborations. With that said, TAKE IT AWAY, NICK! . . #goodtypeguestcurator #typography #photography #goodtype #handlettering https://www.instagram.com/p/CIYScAtJJD9/?igshid=jfah37fxuy7e
