Twestival Global 2010! March 25 Save the Date!: "

Hey Hong Kong! It’s that time again when the Twitterati get together to raise money for a wonderful cause. March 25 we will come together with over 200 cities across the globe to raise funds for Concern Worldwide. Concern focuses on many things, but Twestival has decided to donate to the education arm of Concern’s efforts. Concern’s education, and programs currently reach over 700,000 people in 25 countries across the regions of Africa, Asia, and the Caribbean. It focuses on the poorest, most marginalized women and children and helps to provide them with rudimentary education to help empower them to live better lives.

In the wake of the tragedy in Haiti this year, the world saw how powerful Social Media could be to do good. One of our goals for this Twestival is to encourage non-Twitter users and the Hong Kong business community to come and experience the power of this medium to make changes in the lives of others. Please spread the word, save the date, and join us on March 25.

The following is a touching video of a woman telling her story that Concern Worldwide helps.

香港朋友好！推友們聚集力量，齊齊為一件相當有意義的事情，籌款募捐的時間又到了。我們將會在 3 月 25 日，與全球二百多個城市，為關注世界 ( Concern Worldwide ) 籌募善款。關注世界是個多元化的慈善組織，然而，推特節已決定集中捐助該組織的教育項目。關注世界所推動的教育項目，現已讓 25 個國家、超過 70 萬人受惠，他們分佈在非洲、亞洲、加勒比諸島國。計劃聚焦於最窮困、身邊於社會最邊緣的婦女和兒童，為他們提供基礎教育，讓他們可以自力更生，活得更好。

上方的影片，正正是一名婦女講述她得到關注世界幫助的故事。

海地大地震的哀號，喚醒舉世網民，讓世界見證以新媒體行善的活力。我們希望透過舉辦推特節，鼓勵尚未加入推特的人們，以及香港商界，齊來參與這個網絡媒介，感受那股令人生活產生變化的力量。請把這訊息傳揚開去，並記緊 3 月 25 日晚上，約定你一起參加香港推持節！
