As you all know, it’s Blog Month with Compassion International, and this week there is a whole lot of fun going on to celebrate!

*****

First, Compassion is holding a contest for all of you on Pinterest! I super duper love Pinterest and I’m thrilled it’s being used for a good cause in this case!

This contest will involve you creating a board on Pinterest called “My Sponsored Child,” filling it with images and links to go with the theme, and trying to get as many repins as possible!

If you’re not on Pinterest yet, this will all sound like jibberish, but it is great fun, I promise!

To get started on the contest, read this post for all of the details and start pinning!

{You can check out my board here for ideas!}

Secondly, there is an actual Compassion Blog Month PARTY going on tonight, Thursday, September 20th! I wish I could say it was going to be in person with all of you lovely people, but instead it is a Twitter party!

Here are all the details you will need to join the festivities:

WHERE: Sign into Twitter (https://twitter.com) to join the conversation. If you do not have a twitter account, you can create one.

WHEN: Thursday, September 20, 7:00PM Eastern

WHO: Tanzania Blogger Amy Lupold Bair (@ResourcefulMom) is hosting this event. She will be chatting with Shaun Groves (@shaungroves)! Be sure to follow Amy and Shaun on Twitter!

HOW: Follow the hashtag #CompassionBloggers on Twitter. TweetChat (http://tweetchat.com/) is also a great way to follow the conversation.

Everyone who participates by asking a question or making a comment with the hashtag #CompassionBloggers has the chance to win some great prizes.
