The other day I wondered if blogs could be used to promote charities or social services. For instance, would a resident at a battered women's shelter be able,if she were given the resources, to blog about her experiences as a way for a) her to work through and process what had gone on in her life b) for readers to be able to view her experience as she told it. I'm not thinking so much of the tabloid tell all variety of blog but a blog from the point of view of someone who normally cannot tell her story. This wouldn't even need to be only focused on women, it could include anyone who has made or is on a journey for example an adult learning to read.
Would these stories promote any kinds of connections like volunteering or donations to organizations that help people in need?
The very important concern left is privacy. Can it be guaranteed? How?
Is this already happening and I am just unaware?
