Twimbos Giving Hope this Christmas

Today marked the birth of a new charity initiative that also marked a new beginning in the Social Media scene in Zimbabwe. Twitter users in Zimbabwe have come up with a new initiative known as Twimbos Giving Hope which will see Twitter users of Zimbabwean origin otherwise known as Twimbos coming together to come up with donations which will be given to children from one Children's Home in the country, this festive season.

The idea sprung from a Tweet by Winston Manjengwa/@AmBlujay on Titter and in a few hours the idea has sprung to WhatsApp with hundreds of Twimbos wanting in. The initiative includes both popular figures and folks from various parts of Zimbabwe and is currently being led by Shingi Mangoma and Winston Manjengwa but all decisions are made by the group through a vote.

Plans are underway to setup an Ecocash account for donations. Collections points for goods will also be setup and announced in due course. The Account to follow for updates on this initiative is @TwimbosHope on Twitter and there is also a tumblr account To share your idea please use the hashtag #TwimbosGivingHope and you could just put a smile on a child's face this festive season.

Keep checking this blog for more updates on this initiative but for now don't forget its your choice to be either part of the problem or the solution.
