My Creatribution™ is a cross-Canada cycling from Vancouver to Halifax to raise awareness, and $25,000 for imagine1day.
I love, love, love trying to make the world better, happier, more peaceful, and then sometimes being able to step back and see small successes in those attempts.
This is a chance for me to contribute to a cause which I feel is
crucially important, but also a chance for me to prove my own potential
to myself which I love doing.
The objective of imagine1day to bring education to the developing world is exactly the path I want to take with my life. I feel that education is such a vital tool to create change on so many levels. Whether it is formal or informal education, it can eliminate poverty, improve life skills, reduce ignorance and therefore discrimination, spread knowledge on sustainable living, and create acceptance and patience. Focusing on developing countries is important because these are often the populations that receive little to no education.
I learned that if you find something that you truly want to do, you're passionate about it, and you share it with other people, those people will support you and want to help you get there because that passion becomes contagious. SO ALWAYS SHARE YOUR PASSION!!!
There are certainly other organizations that focus on education, but I chose imagine1day because of the unique and sustainable structure it holds. It does not simply give a village a school house, they give everything that is needed to ensure the school will be used, and continue to be used. I also appreciate that when I first approached imagine1day saying, “what can I do to help?” I was not actually told what to do. Instead I was asked, "what would you like to do to help?"
