Into its 3rd year, we just witnessed the influence of Earth Hour spread far & wide...this year it was sponsored by WWF...my understanding: it grew big enough to gain the interest of mainstream org. like WWF...
2.
There is a high-school-student-founded NPO in Guangzhou City (southern China) that I respect a lot...initiated by no ex-director/manager of any mainstream NGO or large companies with network of powerful contacts...just a bunch of enthusiastic students who want to make changes happen with their own hands...(allow me to skip the details, i just remember they had a site 'privatebbs'...)...to me these young kids dwarfed many other NGOs that I knew about...those founded by experienced people & with lots of corporate sponsors & sophisticated marketing influence but essentially, very few individuals who are ready to contribute their efforts on the front line...
By the way, they grew influential enough that Asian Animal Fund teamed up with them...

Pass on this blog article, spread the message, help the fight against pneumonia gain momentum...to get the mainstream's attention...like the fight against malaria did in the past few years...
