		<description><![CDATA[‘For Immediate Release’

‘All That Twitters is Not Gold’
The New Farm Neighbourhood Centre’s next ‘Politics in the Pub at the Powerhouse’ is about the good and bad of online social networking. While online services like Twitter, Facebook, Bebo and Myspace are great tools for getting the message out they also have a dark side.

		<title>Technology: Bridging the Gaps</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I presented this as a keynote at the recent 12th Asia Pacific Student Services Association (APSSA) Conference at Queensland University of Technology on the 9th of July 2010. The following is a shorten version of the 45 minutes presentation.

		<title>Befriending My Mum on Facebook</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last month, an 18 year old teenager was murdered after making contact with a stranger. The blame was flying all over the place with some blaming Facebook&#8217;s privacy, the parents and others blaming the Government for lack of education and control over the cyberspace.

What became slightly absurd to me was when the news broke, news [...]]]></description>

		<title>Harnessing Interconnectedness to Bridge Gaps in Social Innovation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[At the end of last year, I got an email from Sarah Moran about a competition on Facebook organised by V Australia.

		<title>Make this a Meaningful Mother&#8217;s Day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am not ashamed to admit that my mum is one of the best in the world. Growing up struggling with financial resources, my mum has always provided with the best. Every morning, without fail, she would be up at 4am to do the washing and cleaning, and prepare breakfast and pack lunch for us.

		<title>Why do I wanna change the world?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Earlier this week, while exchanging messages with a friend, he asked me:

Out of curiosity, how did you get started with volunteering? I believe that&#8217;s a story I&#8217;m yet to hear.

And just yesterday, I came across @StaceyMonk&#8217;s story of his little brother, Joshua and her journey to becoming a social change leader, and I wept. So, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Haiti Earthquake: How can you help?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s only been nearly a week and the Haiti earthquake is said to be the fifth worst quake since medieval times, with an estimated death of half a million people, double the death toll of the deadly tsunami.



As aids come in from nations around the world, many organisations are doing their bids in helping as [...]]]></description>

		<title>Happy Birthday, Beth</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have always been very fascinated by the potential of technology in improving lives but have never really looked into it, other than through my work with the Inspire Foundation, which uses information communication technology to improve the mental health and wellbeing of young people.

I remember first entering the non-profit technology circle and attended my [...]]]></description>
