New York City Twestival

Over 250,000 was raised in over 200+ cities around the world on one night. Through Twestival. Many of you know i’m a big “twitterer” and you can find out just about anywhere and everywhere I go by following me on there. Charity Water hooked up with Twitter and created twestival to bring clean water to the world. Each city heldĀ  a fundraising event and gathered all different types of people from the famous to the geek. I was lucky to be in NYC for this night – though my heart was in my hometown of Austin. NYC had over 1000 people attend with music and Jerry Cans lining the room. The atmosphere was exciting and electric. I was only able to stay for a short while before I headed to Angels and Kings where my work was on display for Falling Whistles Benefit.

ANGELS and KINGS – Laundry Screening – Falling Whistles Benefit

I’ve had the priveledge over the past few weeks of touring around with Falling Whistles to cities where they are rallying up young people to do great things and be passionate about the issues in the world knowing that we can do something other than just sit around watch things unfold. Sean, David and Jonathan are headed to the Democratic Republic of Congo next week to start working on logistics of the Art Therapy programs for child soldiers they’ve been raising money for over the last year. Please be in prayer for these boys are they venture into very dangerous and unstable areas of the country.

  1. Hey there Esther,

    Great photos of Angels and Kings…I’m not sure If you remember but I contacted you on myspace and asked about a photo you to of me in front of the mug shot poster by the bathroom, I was hoping to see it here but alas it wasn’t, i was wearing a burgundy hoodie and a black leather jacket, I have long black hair and made a sad face. If you still have the photo I would greatly appreciate it if you can e-mail it my way or something of that effect.

    Thanks very much,…I wish you luck with your photography and your travels.

    -Kerbie
