Today, I received a email from someone I've never met who is involved with involved with International Medical Corp that asked me to post about their project at the American Express Members Project.

I was impressed by their use of social media. It's good to see social media doing some good things for the world. She sent me a link to their social media news release that was chock full of ways to learn about the project.

In short the project goal is saving the lives of malnourished children. And they need your vote to help them increase the amount of funding they can get for the project.

"Saving the Lives of Malnourished Children" is now guaranteed a share of $2.5 million in prize money. The project with the most votes receives $1.5 million, 2nd receives $500,000, 3rd $300,000, and 4th and 5th $100,000. The funding - made possible by your votes - would bring a vital lifeline to hungry and malnourished children around the world.
