Having my blog as a medium to spread word about advocacies and other initiatives is indeed a privilege, and I'm so happy and proud to be one of the founding members of
Mom Bloggers for Social Good, a group of mom bloggers in 11 countries that helps spread the word thru social media and blogging about advocacy campaigns, fundraising efforts and such of non-profit organizations and NGOs all over the world. The group was officially launched on Monday, January 9, 2012.
A few days after the launch, we now have our first ever campaign. Wow! One of our partners,
Healthy Child Healthy World, is in search this year for a "Mom on a Mission". From January through August, Healthy Child will select and honor one finalist each month; in September and October, the general public will vote to choose the winner, who will become the 2012 Mom on a Mission grand prize winner and will be honored at a gala
event in New York City in November. If you know a mom who is on a mission, nominate them now by visiting http://www.healthychild.org/mission.
About Healthy Child Healthy World:
Celebrating its 20th anniversary year, Healthy Child Healthy World began in 1992 after five-year-old Colette Chuda died of a rare form of non-hereditary cancer linked to environmental factors. Playing a leadership role in one of the most important public health and environmental movements of the 21st century, today Healthy Child Healthy World ignites the movement that empowers parents to protect children from harmful chemicals.
