What are the Shorty Awards and why should you care?

The Shorty Awards honor the best of social media, by recognizing the people and organizations producing real-time short form content on Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, YouTube, Foursquare, and the rest of the social Web.

Global Village Champions Foundation has been nominated in a "Featured Category" Non-Profits and Activism for #Charity.  

We are very honoured to have received this  nomination.  We have been actively engaging on Social Media Platforms for the past two years sharing our Mission Statement to end world hunger.  In the past 19+ years we have fed over half a billion hungry people in every corner of the globe.  Our team of dedicated volunteers is determined to have delivered One Billion Meals. Our goal it to see "A Day Without Hunger" by December 31st. 2013.
