Cultivating Global Gratitude

Epic Change aims to create the
world’s largest-ever public
outpouring of gratitude. While many
participants will tweet their thanks
and donate to our efforts in honor of
their gratitude, we also hope to
inspire many others to express their
thankfulness in their own families
and communities.

We believe gratitude in any form
makes the world a better place.


Thanks
Groundbreaking Participation
from Tanzania
Epic Change has won a grant from IdeaBlob
to implement a technology lab at Mama
Lucy’s school in Arusha, Tanzania. Our goal
is to implement the lab in time to have
students personally participate in
TweetsGiving by sharing their gratitude and
interacting directly with TweetsGiving
participants across the globe.

In this photo, students and teachers lined up at a local internet café – many using the
web for the 1st time - to participate online in Ideablob voting to implement the technology
lab at their school.
