Take The challenge Head-On !

Recently launched America’s Giving Challenge is very exciting for me, it urges me to use technology as a way of inspiring people to support causes they care about. The Case Foundation and Parade Magazine started this challenge, which runs from now through January 31, 2008.
The challenge is motivating individuals to champion causes they care about and raising donations online using Web 2.0 tools. What you see in the upper right corner of this page is a widget, one example of Web 2.0 tools. Now it is very easy to spread the word about your cause.
Better get your tool box ready with latest and fine tools if you want to make BIG things happen!
What is exciting about the challenge is that the eight “fundraisers” attracting the greatest number of donations for their causes will each get $50,000 for their chosen cause, and the 100 causes that receive the most donations will each get $1,000.
Global Giving & Network for Good are the two partners selected by Case and Parade to support the Challenge.
You can take this challenge if you want support an international cause.

Landing In DC

After a short delay to join the group,This is my first week in DC and I am happy that i am here finally. DC is hot these days but the people here are really warm at heart, be it my Host Noah scott, staff of global giving ,Other fellows Or Kimi . All of them have helped me to feel at home. Yesterday was my first day at work where I met most of the staff & read about the organisations . Saima and manmeet told me about it in detail with few success stories of the organiation. Denis the Founder Of Global Giving was busy in a board meeting, but I briefly interacted with him and Got motivated with his approach and openness. in just few minutes he motivated me to present an IDEA in the staff meeting . so on the very first day i got charged up, have started working on it and Inshallah !Pretty soon I will present it for peer review and feedback.

The Jungle in me

Visiting the jungle first time I realised its like me. The sunshine the river and the cool air, Reminds me of the freedom  everywhere. There is a tiger some where and couple of cuckoo, He is so scared of them, It does not seem true! And the bounce and  sharpness of a deer keeps  away all that is unwanted my dear ! Sometimes there is a lazy fearless crocodile  in here, Who does not care about anything any where. And the disorder mental stuff like entropy A millions of unorganized  green  canopy There is bit of dust and the rotten woods, But that's fine for the bugs like the organic goods. Whether it is long trail, or a  short gully All will end in dust eventually. Syed Mohammad Yunus
