We are one of you, the youth, who have been moved by the reality that surrounds us, the reality that - We are Fortunate, Blessed and Happy - but there are many who are NOT.  As much as we find progress and development in today’s world, we have come to wake up to the fact that out there, there are a million children for whom, the simple dream of having a full stomach and a decent education still remains a Dream. It is this reality that has motivated us to come together and work for our Dream: a dream to Fulfill the dreams of many underprivileged young kids from Dream A Dream.

So heres the deal people, Twestival brings to you an evening loaded with energy, great Rock Bands, happening music and a cause to live it up, the proceeds of which will be given entirely to Dream A Dream. So come, lets make a difference and party for a cause, for the future of kids that some day might be future of our country and humanity as we know it. If you think having fun is all you could do - You can now have fun and also contribute to help a child live his or her Dream. Lets change the world, one kid at a time.

It all begins at Twestival - 12th September 2009, be there.”

The Flip team has designed a bunch of funky Tshirts specifically for the Bangalore Twestival. These will be seen for the first time at Opus on the 12th. These are going to be original single prints only. For more on how you can get your hands on these watch this space..

In the meanwhile you can head over to pringoo.com/twestival for the official Twestival Worldwide Tshirt.

OOOOkaay so i found the twestival site and decided to register bangalore… lil did i know that i was the first to do that…and ended up becoming the administrator of this Blog…not to mention the main contact for the Twestival “team” in the city ! :))

(lil doodle i just did)

so lets see how many of my fellow bangaloreans sign up (so i can put together a “team”), so we can get the ball rolling… fingers crossed

for those of you who don’t know what the Twestival is all about:

“On 12 February 2009 100+ cities around the world will be hosting Twestivals which bring together Twitter communities for an evening of fun and to raise money and awareness for charity: water.

…..

The Twestival is organized 100% by volunteers in cities around the world and 100% of the money raised from these events will go directly to support charity: water projects.

…

Unsafe water and lack of basic sanitation cause 80% of all sickness and disease, and kill more people every year than all forms of violence, including war.

Many communities in developing nations often have a plentiful supply of clean drinking water just below the ground, but no way to get to it.

This is where charity: water and their partner organizations come in. Drilling a well can cost from $4,000 - $12,000 USD and many living on less than $1 a day cannot afford one in their community, even if the money is combined.

Twestival cities might consider setting a goal to raise enough money from their event to fund a well in Ethiopia which costs $4,000 USD.
