Not sure I consider myself “poor,” comes with being online. We all get our Google scars.

I’ve passed your post on to ChildFund, and sure we’ll take your suggestions into account. I don’t know if we can be more authentic and transparent than to answer Qs such as yours as they come up.

I definitely agree pre-empting is important, but I also think it’s very important to consider the reputation of the organization. ChildFund has a long documented history of doing good, and has a strong GuideStar rating. We’re trying to help some kids out using social media, that’s all. As we hire a community manager for ChildFund getting all of the extra details in place will certainly be easier.
