Join Habitat for Humanity on Wednesday, Nov. 14, at 7 p.m. EST for a Twitter party. In anticipation of this year’s Jimmy & Rosalynn Carter Work Project in Haiti, we will discuss what it takes to build strong and vibrant communities. Now is your chance to join the conversation and find out how this work is being done – in Haiti and around the world.

Last year in Haiti, President and Mrs. Carter, who are Habitat’s most famous volunteers, led an effort to build 100 homes in Léogâne in partnership with families left homeless by the 7.0-magnitude earthquake. This November, the Carters return with nearly 600 volunteers to build 100 additional homes.

Moderated by @SocialGoodMoms, we will have Habitat representatives available to share first-hand information about our ongoing efforts in Haiti. Hear from Habitat Haiti (@HabitatInHaiti), Christopher Vincent (@CG_V), director of congressional relations and international affairs, Giovanni Taylor-Peace (@GiovanniTP), manager of Disaster Response field operations and Heather Lafferty (@HLaff9), CEO and Executive Director of Habitat for Humanity Denver. By participating, you can discover how you, too, can help make a difference!

Together, we will chat about:

• Habitat’s earthquake recovery initiatives in Haiti and specifically how the Habitat community in Léogâne is now flourishing
• What it takes to build and strengthen a community
• Ways you can help with Habitat’s work in Haiti or in the community where you live  

Follow @Habitat_org for updates and join the conversation at #HabitatinHaiti. For more information about the 2012 Jimmy & Rosalynn Carter Work project, visit: http://www.habitat.org/cwp/2012

Save the date - Malala Day on November 10, 2012 #GlobalTeam200

Malala Day (November 10): Malala Yousafzai, a 14 year old schoolgirl in Pakistan, was brutally shot by the Taliban in retaliation for promoting girls' education in her country. Across the globe, millions of children, especially young girls, are denied access to education. This issue often goes unnoticed. We often feel helpless in these kind of situations, but there is a simple way to let your voice be heard in support of Malala. Here is how you can help: 

• Sign the petition to call on Pakistan to agree to a plan to deliver education to all its children: http://educationenvoy.org/
• Spread the word. Inform your audience of the #IamMalala campaign and invite them to sign the petition. 
• Spend November 10th in solidarity for Malala Day. Former UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown - the UN Special Envoy for Global Education - and his wife Sarah will deliver this petition to the Pakistani president on this day.

Empower change for women around the world.
