Was pointed to this via the Communities Dominate Brands blog. It would be a worthwhile endeavor for ministries/orgs to engage in as another missional exchange using mobile tech and education:

What is 1GOAL?
1GOAL is a new campaign for the 2010 FIFA World Cup to ensure that every child worldwide has the opportunity to go to school and learn. 1GOAL is collecting names and support from the public, footballers and celebrities to make a united plea to all governments to meet their target on ‘Education for All’.

What is ‘Education for All’?
‘Education for All’ is the international commitment that world leaders have signed up to – to provide a good quality public education to all children and adults by 2015. The commitment includes prioritising those who are currently missing out on an education, getting them into school, and making sure when they’re in school they get the chance to learn, with qualified teachers. They goals include giving adults who missed out on school, the chance to learn to read and write.

For more information and to link up with this initiative, visit the 1GOAL website.

Other education initiatives, such as Handschooling are also picking up steam as a means of closing the educational gaps in various regions. If you are engaged within other initiatives which promote education, community engagement/development, and the use of mobile tech to help facilitate these aims, drop us a line so that we can draw some awareness to your initiatives.
