The Twitter Library
So we’re a little hooked on Twitter. Only recently have we been able to communicate so quickly to such a large network to connect, mobilize, and involve others in what we are doing. We’d like to invite you, the Twitter community, to be involved in a special project. We’d like you to help us build a library, the Twitter Library. We setup libraries in rural Mongolia, where textbooks, reading books, teachers’ manuals, and educational materials are scarce if not non-existent. We would like to call on the motivation and generosity of Twitter users to work together to found a new library. You can donate $1, $2, $5, or more if you like, and we’d love you to tweet about your experience. Our target school is in northern Mongolia and serves 500 students from families classified as poor and very poor. Our goal is to raise $2,000. We will post updates, GPS location of the school, and photos and video of the opening ceremony as we work together to complete this project. Let’s see just how big the Twitter network really is, and work together to make a difference in Mongolia. We would be proud to announce our first library funded by Twitter users alone.
