We were recently asked to participate in a charity program that helps send children in Ethiopia to school. The program will raise $100,000 to fund a 3-year primary school project (implemented by imagine1day) in Ethiopia, with fundraising by participants from around the world. Although we are unable to visit Ethiopia this October, we wanted to spread the word about this great cause with the hope that you will either donate, share the message or become a participant yourself!
The Journey of a Lifetime: Imagine Ethiopia 2012
In support of imagine1day‘s big goal for all Ethiopians to have access to quality education funded free of foreign aid by 2030, a Dream Team of 14 participants will be heading to Ethiopia this October as part of Imagine Ethiopia. The journey will be the experience of a lifetime, and a way to really see the sustainable difference an organization is making.
Together, the Dream Team will unite around a goal of raising $100,000 to build a new school & provide access to quality education for one of imagine1day’s partner communities.
Faced with this big goal, participants will discover how their passions and talents combine as catalysts for a new form of contribution. Once the funds are raised, the fruits of the Dream Team’s labour will culminate in an epic, awe inspiring, world changing, shake it up, transformative adventure.
