New Contest Launch - Global Agents for Change

memelabs has just launched a video contest with Global Agents of Change. Global Agents for Change are building the world’s largest youth run microcredit fund, supporting hundreds of developing world entrepreneurs in their struggle to escape poverty and tangibly connecting young people to global issues.

Global Agents for Change are asking you to get involved. So get your camera’s ready and tell us - What would you do to change the world? Create a short video of your own footage explaining an idea you’ve dreamed up or a real-life project you’ve taken on, which truly changes the world for the better. Be creative and original but most importantly inspire and be inspired!

There are two prizes to be won: $500 for the people’s choice and $500 for the judges choice to support a cause or organization of your choice. So here’s the chance to do something to change the world. What are you going to do?

Global Agents for Change have just started their second annual ‘Riding to Break the Cycle‘. The goal of the trip is to help build a youth managed microcredit fund, helping struggling developing world entrepreneurs with small trust based loans as they seek to build their families a better life. The trip kicked off in Vancouver on May 31 and will end in Tijuana, Mexico. The group will cover 3000 kilometers in 7 weeks. Check out their trip map to see if they are going to be going through your town and get out to support them in reaching their goal.
