What is TweetsGiving?
TweetsGiving is a 48-hour global celebration that aims to change the world through the power of gratitude. Created by US nonprofit Epic Change, the event is scheduled from November 24 - November 26, 2009.
How do I participate?
First, share your thanks on Twitter, your blog, YouTube, Flickr, blip.fm, or Facebook, including a link to www.TweetsGiving.org and the tag #tweetsgiving. Then give in honor of whomever - or whatever - you're grateful for by clicking on the "give now" button. Your contributions will go toward a classroom, library, orphanage/dormitory and cafeteria at the primary school built by Epic Change fellow, Mama Lucy Kamptoni, and attended by the Twitterkids of Tanzania.
