A friend from USA suggested, what do you think ?

A suggestion...
Its been impressive to see the energy and entrepreneurship that the Reihan School prize has released - a lot of students have been FB messaging asking to become friends
Yet after friending a number of people, Ive become very choosy – the flood has become so great that I only am looking to add people whose posts show that they have insights/interests akin to mine
My guess is that hundreds/thousands of other global FB folks are also feeling overwhelmed
So the suggestion is that you consider an upated and likely more effective approach
RS students would be first given a list of Facebook or other social media users that they may find of interest, in terms of their own studies or career aims
Then, before deciding which were the top prospects to approach with FB friend requests, they would identify a possible work-study project relating closely to the overseas prospects interests
This proposed research/work-study project could be either offered on a brief volunteer basis – or as a quick (compensated) gig on Fiverr.com
Then, after crafting the proposed project to be _highly_ aligned with the prospective FB friends interest, the RS student would sent the FB friend request - including a summary of the proposed volunteer research (or compensated gig)
This would likely yield a far higher % of FB friend acceptances – and potentially lead to reputation building freelance work for the students
Hope this approach to winning the laptop there will be testable in the future!
