Twestival India 2011

It is a delight to your eyes when you see so many volunteers come together for one cause and make our place a better place to live. Twestival (Twestival Photos) is one initiative where you get to see this. Many people from around the world raise funds for different causes on a single day. Places are different but the noble motive doesn’t change with regions. You can be a part too and contribute to charity while meeting up with fellow twitter friends and having fun!

Twestival India is happening across 7 cities. Indian Twitter users have never let us down and this year too the initiative expects to reach the Rs. 5 lac mark for charities that are being supported at Twestival Local. Join in and show your support. Let’s make it a huge success.
