Readers, you may be aware of the Chase Community Giving contest on Facebook. One of India’s most trusted and credible NGOs, GiveIndia, is taking part in this competition to win a $1 million grant. The winner will be the NGO that gets the highest number of votes from Facebook users. The prize of $1 million will help put or keep 40,000 children across India in school for one year.
Imagine the community coming together to spread the word and help the underprivileged children of India. The impact would be tremendous and together, IndiBloggers and GiveIndia would be able to gather the votes we need to win.
Voting in the competition is for one week only, from Friday, January 15, to Friday, January 22, 2010. Can we all make a difference in the next five days? We sure hope so!
