Be Involved in Obama's Trip to Ghana.

President Barack Obama is heading to Ghana to deliver a speech in the capital of Accra. He will make his presentation on Saturday, July 11. There are ways for people to be involved, even if they are simply watching or listening to the broadcast from abroad.

Individuals can submit questions and comments via text in many African nations, including Nigeria, South Africa and Kenya. Unfortunately, the SMS option isn't available for viewers/listeners in the United States. Facebook, however, is hosting a live chat during the speech. This way, anyone can participate in providing feedback by sharing their ideas and comments with others around the world. Additionally, participants can follow the speech on Twitter and share their feedback by posting reactions.

Social media is becoming increasingly important in terms of communication, as evidenced by the use of text messaging, Facebook and Twitter to spread the word of Obama's speech in Ghana. To create awareness of the event, participate in these forums. Show your support for Obama's trip to Ghana by posting the news on your own Facebook profile or Twitter account. Acquaint yourself with the various forms of social media that are taking over the world; while they might seem overwhelming at times, these outlets are helping people stay connected no matter how far they are from one another.
