Hej!
För ett par dagar sedan fick jag jag ett glatt mail – vi har gått vidare till semi-final i en tävling för sociala entreprenörer som annordnas av Changemakers och Ben & Jerry´s!! Ja precis – den GOOOOODA glassen : ) Jag ska få träffa Jerry från Ben & Jerry´s! : ) Såhär var mailet:


Howdy!
Thanks for applying to Ben & Jerry’s Join Our Core Social Entrepreneurship competition. We’ve sifted through all the applications, and I’m super excited to tell you that you are one of 25 semi-finalists that will go through to the next stage (hooray!)
So, what happens now…?
We want to big-up you and your idea on our website, Facebook and Twitter pages… so what we need from you is a quick recap of your genius.
1. Organisation Name
2. Links (website, Facebook, Twitter)
3. Image – this will be featured prominently on our website so make sure this is high definition and shows your business idea in its full glory!
4. 300 word Summary Paragraph – this is the really important stuff. We need you to sell your business idea in this many words. Please include
– What your organisation is about
– How you are creating social change
– Why people should vote for you!
Now let’s talk dates!
So the big days are Tuesday the 22nd of May and Wednesday 23rd May in London where you will be assessed by VSO and pitching your super sustainable business idea to our expert judges (including one of our founders Jerry Greenfield!). So pop this in your diary. You will need to be available on both days from 9am to 9pm.
If you are one of the 15 candidates to get through this round then you will be flying to Uganda from the 12th – 21st August (included) and will need to attend a compulsory training in London on the 21st of July.
One last thing! Please can you send me a copy of your passport so we can make travel arrangements for your trip.
Looking forward to hearing from you soon! And well done again!!!!
