Say, for example, One NGO worker had found a missing child of 4-years old and they want to help that child to reach his home back, they are trying to spread the news through all the available sources with them on the local basis at their end but still are unable to find the correct address. As the child is small in age and is not aware of the things, so here the social media can help them, in a way one can create a descriptive message depicting the proper information about the missing child and attach its photo. After that, one can forward it to all contacts via WhatsApp or post on Facebook for reaching the maximum people. In this way, the message can reach to his parents and they can contact the concerned person and reach to their child. Like this one can be an angel for someone who is in trouble or needs help.

Today, many people who are involved in social-work are active on social media as they are aware of the increasing use of it in today’s time. They are sharing many informational and good message giving videos just to stop the exploitation of the innocent people/s in the surroundings.
