twDAMN! I hate it when I can't stop making up words that only make sense to 0.2% of the world population.
I was particularly interested in the Austin Twestival because it's billing itself as an event where "100% of ticket sales go straight to charity:water and if we sell out, we build two wells in Africa!"
According to Sarah Bramley (@sbramley), the Africa Regional Manager for Water For People and my close personal sister, "Chartity:water is an organization that largely collects money and distributes it through grants to other NGOs."
To which I asked her, "Then what should I make of the money to people-helped ratio on their site?"
She said, "There are a lot of factors involved and nothing is guaranteed like that. But if they do happen to sell out and two wells are built because of it, I would consider it a great success no matter who actually does the construction."
There it is folks. I'm gonna buy my tickets right now.
