A few weeks ago we launched our #Loop4Dev Boomerang challenge, which leverages Instagram’s Boomerang app, to show the world what inclusive, sustainable, livable and resilient cities look like. Thanks to all those who participated, and if you haven’t seen the challenge yet,
head over to Instagram and check out the submissions received so far. Join the challenge (if you have not already) and help us raise awareness of the important role cities play in ending poverty.
In the meantime, see a few of our favorite submissions that people across the world have shared:
Wilder Aguilar from La Paz Bolivia showed us how this cable way is improving the quality of life for the people of La Paz and El Alto, by providing a reliable and safe transportation service.
We were also excited to see this submission from Smdkdiagne in Senegal who shared how this wholesaler of frozen fish is making it affordable for people to buy food – a quality which most livable cities should have: Our very own, Brad Simmons travelled to Accra Ghana and discovered how Makola Market was an epicenter of trade in the country. Look at the bustling business: And Antonella Delvecchio from Merida, Venezuela stated it appropriately by saying: Our cities should give us the same opportunities to grow and develop because they have a direct impact in our life. See her video: We also saw this cool boomerang from Drinaldoo from Indonesia, who noticed how much her city of Malang is growing: With more people moving into cities around the world for better opportunities, it will become increasingly critical for all of us to ensure that these spaces are places we can live a full life. Won’t you join us in celebrating our cities? Shoot your own boomerang and post it on Instagram using the hashtag #Loop4Dev !
