We are going to go home and analyse what we’ve heard and then come up with some findings. As part of that, we’ll be coming back to your local mobile phone shops to distribute handouts on social media skills that we think are important, based on our conversation today. Make sure you keep an eye out for that. We’ll also be creating some tools and tutorials online, so if you want to keep up with announcements you can ‘like’ Save the Children Myanmar’s Facebook page and you can then see regular updates. Are there any last questions before we say goodbye? 128
