The Power of We: Blog Action Day

Today October 15, 2012 is Blog Action Day where almost 2,000 bloggers from 108 countries have registered to take part in celebrating The Power of We by writing a blog post about making a positive difference in the world, either for their own communities or for people they will never meet half way around the world. This celebration definitely targets the worldwide internet users market. It is also an excellent way to promote causes you support and spread the world connected by the simple hashtag #powerofwe.

 

I would like to dedicate my blog post to an important event coming to Vancouver October 18 (this Thursday!) : WE DAY. Since I was young I have always enjoyed volunteering and contributing to the community. Through these activities, I have definitely learned that the potential of young people is infintie. As a person who aims high in hope to motivate others to do the same, I am strongly in support of organizations who enpower young people to reach their goals, which is why WE DAY is meaningful to me!

 

This annual event links together two organizations centered on empowering young people, Free The Children and Me to We, “to realize their shared goal of enabling young people to make the world a better place.” We Day goes from province to province each year to put on a show that consists of talented performers and motivational speakers. This year in Vancouver, the performer and speaker list includes Demi Lovato, Desmond Tutu, Magic Johnson, Holly Branson, Justice Sinclair, Craig & Marc Kielburger, Molly Burke, OneRepublic, Robin Wiszowaty, Shawn Desman, Spencer West. In fact, there is a “We Day Dance”!


P.S. WE Day will be streamed online at 9:30 PT @ http://www.muchmusic.com/events/weday/#vacouver
