Twestival Galway will be held in Hotel Meyrick in Eyre Square Galway on March 25th. We are
currently looking for sponsorship for the event and of course to
raise some money for Concern Worldwide.
On 25 March 2010 hundred cities around
the world will be hosting Twestivals in support of Concern Worldwide which bring together
Twitter communities for fun and to raise money and
awareness about education.
Each city and school hosting a Twestival
will be given the opportunity to select an area of education to
support. This will be recognized with a special icon on their
website once they have set a goal. For as little as $28USD
they can provide the uniform, books, pencils, and paper a child
needs to attend one year of school. Concern Worldwide are able to
guarantee that 100% of Twestival funds will go direct to project
costs. This means that the money would be used for material
purchases (curriculum, desks, pencils) as well as project activities
such as construction of schools; rehabilitation of classrooms;
teacher/management training; PTAs; HIV/AIDS school clubs; water and
sanitation in schools; health education in schools; education
advocacy; vocational/life-skills training for youth, farmers and
women; and curriculum development for secondary school/university.
