Mozambique opened my eyes in a way that nothing on TV, radio, internet or newspapers can. The realisation that millions of people worldwide have no access to healthcare and what that means in reality, on the ground, won’t leave me.
These are the words of Christine Mosler, a blogger who visited Mozambique with Save the Children to raise awareness for the work the charity is doing there. Now Christine and Save the Children’s Liz Scarff are in New York City, along with other bloggers, putting pressure on governments to provide air to that will help save lives in East Africa. (Sign the petition now!)
BritMums’s Jennifer Howze spent Saturday at Save the Children’s blogging conference which focused not only on how to be a better blogger but also how we can help with Save the Children’s campaign.
For anyone who’s interested in highlighting a charity or a good cause on their blog, we’re hosting a special Twitter party on Tuesday. Christine will be tweeting from New York, sharing her tips and the work she’s been doing. Join us to hear how you can get involved in this and other campaigns.
#BritMumsSTC
When: Tuesday 20 September
Time: 13:00 – 14:00
Come join us for a Twitter discussion that could change not only your life but the lives of others as well!
