Passports With Purpose: Monday #gno Twitter Party
There’s travel and then there’s charitable travel. Passports with Purpose is all about the latter. Passports with Purpose, which started in 2008, is the annual travel bloggers’ fundraiser held during a two-week period in November/December of which this travel related giveaway is a part. Passports with Purpose (PwP) fills the need to do long-lasting good for people in the places travelers visit by uniting an online community and leveraging the social media platforms of travel bloggers around the world.
PwP initiatives benefited Heifer International; the Passports School with American Assistance for Cambodia; a village in Tamil Nadu, India for 25 Dalit families with Land for Tillers’ Freedom; two libraries in Zambia with Room to Read; five wells in Haiti with Water.org; and in 2013 two schools and two adult literacy programs in Mali with buildOn. PwP was recognized by Travel + Leisure® magazine with a Social Media in Travel + Tourism℠ Awards (SMITTY) for “Best Use of Social Media by an Independent Journalist/Blogger.”
