Gratitude: There’s a note for that!

Just found this video at http://gratitudecollections.net/blog/gratitude-video-on-you-tube/  - love it. I didn’t understand how Post It came up with it, but quickly discovered it was created by Stacey Monk of EpicChange.org, whom I saw speak this summer at the 140Conference in NYC - it’s an entry to the Post It contest. Rather than rewrite, here is Stacey’s note about the video taken from her YouTube page.

Created during a recent trip I took to Tanzania, children who attend a school at which I volunteered were looking for a memorable way to say “thanks” to hundreds of people across the globe who’ve supported efforts to rebuild their school after it was nearly closed last year. We chose Post-it® Notes because they were colorful and could be easily personalized by the children for each donor/supporter.

If my video is selected as a winner of the Post-it Notes “One Million Uses and Counting” Contest, any prizes will be donated to help the school continue their efforts to rebuild and expand. The school serves over 200 local children, including those featured in the video.

For more information about the school, check out http://www.EpicChange.org. You can also check out more videos from the school on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/epicchange. If you’re interested in learning more about Pius, the little boy who says the Post-it® tagline at the end of the video, there’s a short video about him and his mother at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ZLEOY…

Special thanks to Zoe, Nick, Amanda, Sanjay, Tim, Nelle, Mama Lucy and the school’s amazing students and faculty for all their help creating this contest entry.
