Lil' MDGs - Youth Making Changes |
Based in New Hampshire, Lil' MDGs was founded in 2004, to leverage the power of the Internet to educate, engage, inspire, and empower youth in all corners of the world to work together to meet the Millennium Development Goals |
Here’s just a little update on what’s going on at Lil’ MDGs:
We’ve been invited to the UN MDG Review Summit in September! During the summit, world leaders are coming together to reevaluate the world’s progress on the MDGs, and to form strategies on how to speed up progress and accomplish the goals by 2015. Lil’ MDGs will be meeting with world leaders as well as hosting a few workshops. Watch for us there!
Currently, we’re planning an exciting event for October 16 at the Stockbridge Theatre in Derry, NH. The event will be hosted with support from Nestle and the Nestle Very Best in Youth Foundation.
Comedian Dan Ahdoot, one of the most booked comedians in the country, will be our main act. Besides from his hilarious stand-up comedy, Mr. Ahdoot has written for shows on MTV, Comedy Central, and A&E. He has also been featured on Jay Leno and Comedy Central’s Premium Blend. As our prelude act, we have comedian Tarun Shetty. Mr. Shetty, not your normal comedian, has hosted global programs such as Showbiz India Extreme and written and produced for the TV show X-Play on the G4 network. He has made TV appearances on CMT and Nickelodeon’s Laugh Out Loud, all while establishing himself as one of the leading commercial print models and comedians in the US.
Special Offer until September 16! You can buy discounted tickets for $15 Adults, $12 Students, and $10 Pinkerton Students. From Sept. 17 onwards, tickets are $20 Adults, $17 Students, and $15 Pinkerton Students.
