Social Media Super Heroes Fighting Global Poverty

26 May 2009 One Comment

wpw_asmlogo1On May 31st, a team of Toronto’s social media geniuses will be participating in the World Partnership Walk-A Social Movement to raise money for the fight against global poverty.  Check out Ms. RedWire and the Dynamic Duo, Mr. Daily Challenge, Super Blogger, and others.  Or to see who’s winning the race to raise the most, visit the HeroMeter.

 

About the Charity:

The Aga Khan Foundation Canada funds more than 30 development initiatives in a dozen countries, operating on the principle that effective social and economic progress is based on partnership and helping people to take charge of their own lives.  Funds donated through the World Partnership Walk help support programs in four important areas: health, education, rural development and strengthening community-based organizations. These programs are designed to tap the initiative, entrepreneurship, resources and energy of poor communities in order to help them enhance their livelihoods. All - 100% - of funds raised during the World Partnership Walk are directed to international development initiatives in more than a dozen developing countries around the world.

I’ll be there walking with the team, but without a cape.  Hope to see you there!
