Just a quick post to share with you the first video we’ve created from the trip. It’s a special message from the kids at the school to all of you who are helping to rebuild their school. I hope you enjoy it!

I’ve entered this video in a YouTube competition that offers a $10,000 grand prize. You can imagine how valuable those funds would be in our efforts to continue the school’s reconstruction.   To show your support for our entry, I hope you’ll:

• Watch the video here.
• Rate the video with 5 stars.
• Leave a comment about the video.
• Favorite the video.
• Post a comment in support of our entry on the Post-it “One Million Uses and Counting” YouTube contest site.

If you have any questions or encounter any problems while completing these steps, please feel free to email or call me at 415.630.0631.  If you’d like to learn more about the competition, visit http://www.youtube.com/postitnotes.

The top 10 finalists will be announced on September 11th.  Once we’ve been selected as a finalist (I’m a firm believer in the power of positive thinking!), we’ll need your votes again beginning on September 12th, as the winner of the $10,000 prize will be chosen by popular vote.

Subscribe to the blog via email or RSS to find out immediately when we make the top 10 and you can begin to cast your votes.
Special thanks to Amanda, Zoe, Tim, Nelle, Sanjay, Nick, Mama Lucy and the students and staff at the school for all their fabulous work in pulling together what I’m sure will be the winning entry!
