Background:
Founded in 1995 to promote sports and cultural events among the Oromo diaspora, the Oromo Sport Federation in North America (OSFNA) organizes annual soccer tournaments. Starting June 30, 2012, after years of failed bids, Toronto is playing host to Oromos from around the world – who will the annual pilgrimage to attend sports competitions, cultural events, religious and political conventions.
Due to prior commitments, the OPride.com is unable to attend the weeklong events, sometimes called Oromo convention. But we hope that those of you who live in Toronto and those who are attending the tournament – can help us cover the event. I believe that everyone with a camera phone is a citizen journalist.
So, tweet away, Instagram it, capture the moments on Tout, and share it on Facebook. Let’s make #Oromo and #OromoSoccer trend worldwide. It takes less than and only 140 characters. Join and let’s make OSFNA cool.
