charity: water, Twestival, iJustine and a lot of people that do care
5050box recently joined Twitter. Many others have done that too and quite a few thought it would be nice to organise 202 Twestivals, festivals around the world, “bringing together Twitter community for an evening of fun and to raise money and awareness for charity: water”.
“Charity: water is a non profit organization bringing clean, safe drinking water to people in developing nations. They give 100% of the money raised to direct project costs, funding sustainable clean water solutions in areas of greatest need. Just $20 can give one person in a developing nation clean water for 20 years.”
iJustine helped organising the Twestival in LA. She has a blog, is on Twitter and has a YouTube-Channel, of course. And: She made a video telling her users (the world) that she cares and posted it on her blog. This is her video:
In her video she asked others to created videos for charity: water too. And they did she got more than 180 video responses. Videos like these:

Video by mathcristo.
I love it. These are videos about something important. Videos by people that do care — from all over the planet. This is what 5050box should be about. Thank you all!
I have have embedded some videos to 5050box.com. iJustine’s video is on 5050box #176, a few responses to that video can be found starting with #177. Check them out and consider donating to charity: water if you like a video! If you have a YouTube account just click on the YouTube logo and comment on their videos.
The organizers of the Twestivals wanted to raise at least $1.000.000 for charity: water. I hope they got $2.000.000. If you have not donated to charity: water already you can go to their site on charitywater.org or donate directly from 5050box.
If you want to submit a video for another charity just go to suggest and become a 5050box ANGEL. It is easy and feels good. ;)
