KK Will Join the World for Twestival on 25th March 2010

March 21st, 2010 admin No comments

This year’s Twestival Global aims to lend a hand to Concern Worldwide to help some of the 72 million kids who are not enrolled in school to have classrooms, books, uniforms and teachers in some of the poorest places on earth.

Last week, at the cue of a friend in Hong Kong I signed up Kota Kinabalu as a participant in Twestival Global 2010. What was intended as a solo-effort to throw a small tweet-up party to raise awareness for a good cause has turned into a team of 30 volunteers to make this event larger than what was intended. Below is a shot from our volunteer briefing from yesterday (Saturday afternoon).

In two weeks my role has gone from benefit party-thrower to leading a band of amazing people whose dedication to help change lives has touched, inspired and motivated me to do much more. Please come and support us on Thursday 25th March 2010 by coming to our benefit party. 100% of the proceeds from our event will go to charity!
