You may remember that a few months back I was participating in a charity project via Twitter<\/a> called #tweetsgiving<\/a> [details here<\/a>, here<\/a> and here<\/a>]. It was the brainchild of Stacey Monk (<\/span><\/span>@StaceyMonk<\/a>) the founder of Epic Change<\/a> and challenged users of Twitter to band together and raise 10,000$ for the development of a classroom addition to a school in Arusha, Tanzania.<\/p>\n

This month Epic Change is at it again.\u00a0 They’re raising funds <\/span><\/span>to expand the school to include its first technology lab and a boarding facility\/orphanage for students. They’re hoping to raise 77,777$ by the end of March 17th and still have a long way to go before they reach the goal.\u00a0 You can learn more at tweetluck.org<\/a> or by following @TweetLuck<\/a> or the search term #tweetluck<\/a> on Twitter.
\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Take a few minutes, and the cost of a cup of coffee or two, and donate to Epic Change’s TweetLuck<\/a> project. Then join us in telling the world how lucky you are \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

I am lucky because I have friends & family who care for me & accept my eccentricities.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

You can see pictures<\/a> of the classroom built on gratitude at the Epic Change Flickr<\/a> account.\u00a0 I was originally disappointed that I couldn’t find my Twitter handle on the wall – but then I remembered that the project had nothing to do with me or my ego – rather it was about building hope and helping to develop a bright future for children half-way around the world and that was certainly accomplished.
