As a small team from World Vision visits five locations around the world, HumaniNet’s map of the True Spirit of Christmas tour provides yet another way for donors and fans to follow along.
The map will highlight specific reports and photos the team posts to their Facebook page, videos they’ve uploaded to YouTube and items in their online gift catalog.
The comments system built into Facebook allows readers and supporters to share their own experiences and interact with the tour as it is happening. As of this morning, the team is closing in on 10,000 fans on Facebook!
HumaniNet's Map of the True Spirit of Christmas Tour
Matt Blair created the back-end infrastructure part of the map in Portland, Oregon, with design input from HumaniNet’s executive director Gregg Swanson and the World Vision team in Federal Way, Washington. Our super-star Illinois-based volunteer Joe Ludwig will be handling the geo-location and map point entry as the tour proceeds, from Ecuador to Cambodia, then on to Zambia and Ethiopia, before heading back to New York.
We hope you’ll check the map often over the next month or so, and follow along as the tour unfolds!
