A little bird told me...

If you're not already on Twitter, maybe you should think about jumping on the bandwagon. Here at BK, we have been doing our best to utilize the fastest growing networking tool out there. We tweet, we retweet, we follow trends, and we at-reply. But the coolest thing about Twitter is the simple ability to find out about people, places, things, organizations, events, and opportunities without having to navigate through the mess of Google or the blog-o-sphere.

Our interns scour Twitter for like-minded organizations and interesting information. Recently, we have been very intrigued by one 'tweeter' (twitterer?) that we follow, called charity: water, a non-profit organization bringing clean and safe drinking water to people in developing nations. If their super fantastic website isn't enough to draw you in, check out founder Scott Harrison's story, or look closer for their newest project, called Unshaken. Aiming to provide about 40,000 Haitian people affected by the earthquake with safe, clean drinking water, charity:water is teaming up with other philanthropic organizations to fund 11 large-scale water projects.

Charity:water is the kind of organization Blue Kitabu aspires to be. With a few more years and a lot more experience under our belt, we hope that our mission will reach into the hearts and minds of more and more people, enabling us to grow our organization and our projects. Your support of Blue Kitabu, and of other organizations such as charity:water, makes a difference where it really matters. If you haven't done something to support those in need lately, right now is as good a time as any.
