We've been getting lots of queries on how to post about GiveIndia and the Chase Giving event, so we thought we'd help by creating a sample post here, that bloggers can pick up and then add their own touch to.
So here goes:
Education is a proven ticket for children and families to escape the cycle of poverty and yet 50% of school age children in India are not in school today. It is estimated that there are anywhere between 10-20 mn children working as labourers in hazardous industries and being exploited when they should be learning and playing.
GiveIndia, a trusted and credible NGO in India is trying to win a $1 million grant through a contest on Facebook. If we win, we plan to use the money to educate 40,000 children for a year. You can see more details here.
So 1 vote that takes 1 minute, can literally educate 1 child for a year costing about Rs2000. This must be the highest payoff ever for a person to vote... just login to Facebook, go to this page and press the "vote button" to create a Rs2000 donation that changes a life without you spending even a penny!!
Let's work together to ensure that the money comes to India :-). Voting ends on January 22 so don't delay!!
After you vote be sure to tell ALL your friends about it too!
