Twittacause competition update

May 12, 2009

To have been selected as one of only 15 non-profits globally in the recent Twittacause competition was a surprise and an honour. We didn’t win, far from it, but we came in at a respectable 4th place. The overwhelming and worthy winner, the Foundation for Caregivers, must have mounted an incredible campaign amongst their supporters in a record time to secure the number of votes that they did.

I want to thank all our supporters who asked people to vote for us like board member Peggy McLeland, who wrote emails to her entire network; top business consultant Verne Harnish who sent out a notice to his newsletter base; Roger-Neale May who alerted marketing colleagues and Nancy Richards who broadcast live on South African radio inviting people to vote for us.

The biggest thanks go to Lifeline Energy team, who under the direction of Bhavna Malkani, learned to ‘tweet’. We all now better understand the power and force of social networking.

Help Lifeline Energy Win up to $1 Million!

Even faster than a Tweet; it’s just one Vote!

twittacauseWe are thrilled to announce that Lifeline Energy has been chosen by red-hot Twitter as one of only 15 non-profits around the world to compete in Twittacause. We need one minute of your time to win. You don’t need to twitter or tweet, just vote for us once!

Click here to vote: Vote for Lifeline Energy

Vote for us in the navy blue box — we’re #9, and send this email to your friends.

This extraordinary opportunity — to receive up to $1 million – would massively increase our assistance to orphans in Africa. Winning Twittacause will transform Lifeline Energy and enable us to reach an additional four million children in 24 months. We might be the smallest non-profit in the running, but we’ve been chosen against the odds because our impact is immediate and lasting.

Orphaned children persevere through some of the harshest conditions imaginable, often living in isolation, without trusted adults to provide security, food or comfort. Radio remains the most important communication medium in Africa. For six years the Lifeline radio has enhanced the lives of hundreds of thousands of vulnerable children by providing practical information on health, farming and much more that improves the quality of their daily lives. And up to 40 children share one radio.

A $1 million prize will also help us light up Africa. Children can study, read, walk safely at night and guard against dangers – real or imagined. Our clean energy solar-powered, wind-up Lifelights will help end the use of dangerous candles and toxic kerosene.

Vote now and send this on to your friends and networks.
