On 15 October, over 12,000 bloggers banded together to discuss a single issue - poverty.  Australian bloggers, Instantiate, joined in and issued a podcast looking at how technology and the web are helping people to help others.  As well as looking at international organisations such as Kiva.org, One Laptop Per Child and Google.org, they also talked about Manly-Manado.

It was so encouraging to hear Instantiate praise the movement's purpose - to create awareness of, and take action against, the mutual poverty that exists within both Manly and Manado, through a relational connection.



They also talk about how Manly-Manado is a relational movement and is transforming lives in both Manly and Manado. It's encouraging to hear such strong third party endorsement and to know that the Manly-Manado message is getting out to a broader audience!
