Peace One Day?

For the past 6 years, I have been part of an international organization - CISV - that promotes peace through non-formal experiential education. Being a global organization with a network that reaches youth and communities within more than 60 countries, we partnered with another like-minded organization - Peace One Day - founded by film maker Jeremy Gilley. Peace One Day works towards raising awareness about the international day of global ceasefire and non-violence, 21 September; a day during which all fighting stops and  people who can otherwise not be reached receive vaccination and medication among other things.
We at CISV accepted the 2012 Peace Challenge to use our networks as extensively as possible to spread everyday starting 21 September 2011 the awareness about Peace Day in order to actually achieve GLOBAL truce on Peace Day 2012! With this post, this challenge has been extended to your networks.. carry the wave!

While I admire what you and the organization are doing, this is not the type of post I was looking for as. "post of record" for the class, as it doesn't demonstrate that you have acquired an understanding of SNA and how you can use it in your research. Perhaps you misunderstood the assignment. If you would like to try again, let me know ASAP and have a look at any of the other posts to get an idea of what I mean.
