I'm fundraising to help improve education for thousands of children
Dear Family & Friends,
I need your help!
Target: $9,000
As I turn 40 this year, this thing called midlife crisis finally hits. Now, instead of going out and buying a motorbike, I'd rather spend the $ on my other passion - giving back to underprivileged communities, especially children.
I'm hoping my friends and family with join me in this venture and instead of celebrating my greys (yes, there's a few) at a big party, I'm hoping to instead set a target to raise enough funds to sponsor education for 40 kids.
My family & I will be in Bali later in September 2022 and we have connected with the Bali Children Foundation who run fantastic programs to ensure children have the opportunity to succeed in life. We may even get a chance to see the impact of your donations in person. The money raised goes directly towards the childrens' education by funding classrooms, desks, backpacks, text books, laptops, sporting gear, stationery etc.
What are we raising funds for?
Education: Good education helps break generational cycles of poverty and gives struggling families hope for a better future. It has the potential to set up families for generations.
Food: This is still an urgent need for these families and all of us can do more to eradicate world hunger & poverty.
By supporting families with the basic necessities, we are ensuring the kids get to remain in school and not have to go into the workforce to support their parents financially
Apprenticeships and workplace training: Tourism is the biggest industry in the region and BCF runs programs to ensure the older kids get a step into the industry with placements with local and global hospitality providers to ensure the kids have a sustainable career
Please join me in this effort to raise much needed funds and help make this happen. While remote communities in Bali are already suffering from significant poverty, many families survive on remittances from their employed children. Thousands are still out of work, without any social services safety net and income.
Please donate anything you can, it all counts and will make these families smile.
Love,
Behzad
