Hello Fans of Esther's Echo
We have recently submitted a grant application to a foundation called Ashoka. Their community action network is called Changemakers that describes itself as a "community of action where we all collaborate on solutions. We know we have the power to solve the world’s most pressing social problems. We’re already doing it, one project, one idea at a time."
A competition was recently posted on Ashoka that we have applied for called the "We Media PitchIt! Challenge: How can we use media to inspire a better world?" Since Esther's Echo is founded upon using digital media to spread awareness of amazing community projects, we have put in an application that can now be found on their website.
Part of the deciding factor in who wins this project will be the feedback of the online community. We are asking you to please go online and post a comment in support of Esther's Echo. You will need to sign up for the Ashoka community to make a post which is an amazing online community to be a part of and which only takes a few minutes to do.
The winning organization receives 25,000 dollars and a trip to Miami for 3 days to network. This opportunity would be a tremendous help to Esther's Echo. Posts can only be made for the NEXT TWO DAYS.
So please get online and comment! You can find the website here:

Thank you so much everybody. I estimate we will need at least 30 comments to stand out in the community. I know we can do that with all the supporters we have on our Facebook fanpage!!
