woah! I’m the administrator?!
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.
