How shall it happen all over the world?
How do you see yourself as being one of the supporters, organizers, or sponsors? Share it with love with friends/anyone; expose some or all forms to the media, producers, etc. to do it. Make it you own, do what you can do and enjoy the fruits of your labor. You could: make a phone call to a mayor or governmental representative, PERSONALLY MEETING someone about this transformative selfless project, emailing this to all your friends/acquaintances, etc. If you don’t feel comfortable speaking about it, have me talk with them… Here is a chance to do a great thing through a simple sharing or more... Let's make the world a better place with fun, food and festivities for all...
