So I would assume Earthling’s regular readers will have the distinction amongst our posts. I would have you now my younger sister Earth has tons to do with this little school project of mine. She is my personal cheerleader, social media mentor and messaging coach.
Here’s my elevator pitch in video format:
LodRose on She Ka for Social Entrepeneurship + 365 Philippines
Here’s our blurb:
From Co-Founder Niña Terol Zialcita – http://artofchangemaking.com/2010/12/365philippines-invite/
What if we could change the world’s perception of the Philippines not through a manufactured, structured marketing campaign, but through an honest, authentic, community-based sharing of experiences and ideas? Do you know those Project 365s that people do on Flickr or Facebook–where they upload everyday photos and invite viewers into slivers of their daily lives? What if we could share that with the world and show them what the Philippines REALLY looks like, through the lives and lenses of REAL, everyday Filipinos? #
This is what 365Philippines.com is all about. #
It aims to be a platform for sharing content that is real and authentic and seen from our eyes. More than that, it aims to create a community of Filipinos who love the Philippines and who want to promote the country in the most honest way possible. Authenticity is key to this project. We now have a passionate project team that’s building the site (hopefully to be launched by Valentine’s Day 2011), but we need more hearts, minds, hands, and eyes to turn this into a social enterprise that will help empower local communities, boost tourism, and contribute to a Philippines that we can all be proud of.
