There’s more to The Goodest Story Ever Contest than making others feel good by your act of kindness and then sharing your heartfelt holiday stories with the world. It’s more than the competition and the chance to win awesome prizes, like a trip for 2 to Cancun, a flip digital camcorder and $100 Starbucks gift card. It’s also a great opportunity to support an initiative called, Nikibasika, which provides support for 52 children in Kasese, Uganda.
Nikibasika, meaning “it is possible” in the Western Ugandan language of Runyankole, is the theme of this extraordinary learning and development project in Kasese, Uganda. Our goal is use social media to raise $10,000 for the Nikibasika: The Kasese Children Learning & Development Project. There are 52 children in Kasese that come from families who have been affected by HIV Aids or civil wars and a group of Canadians have taken it upon themselves to sponsor them and ensure that they have a chance to understand that “it is possible.”
Meet these brave children in the following 2 minute video:
If you’re inspired to do what you can for these kids and support the Nikibasika project, you can donate to the cause or you can help grab the attention of corporate sponsors by submitting your holiday story. You can also contact your friends to see if they’d be interested in helping out.
The contest deadline is January 31, 2009. But don’t wait too long! You might want some extra time to promote your story and beg your friends to get on DailyChallenge.org and vote for you.
