why we're attempting the impossible...
PeruCommunity outreach
Taking children of the streets and putting them into education. South America's children are immensely affected by the country's rife drug trade.
We work with Academia Latinoamericana de Espanol to ensure that families have the support they need that then allows their children to go to school and ensures those schools have the right supplies to deliver the best education possible. |
United Kingdomnatural childhood
In the U.K, children's health is on the decline. Whether your want to put it down as an inevitability of modernity or our increasing disconnect with nature, the evidence is clear to see.
Help Us Learn works hard to promote the idea that if we re-connect children with nature, they can become happier, healthier and better equipped human beings. |
Nepalsustainable education
JVF-Nepal are a community based foundation that has a vision that we share, passionately.
They ask not what others can do for them, but what they can do for themselves. From there they work to create their own sustainable educational infrastructure to the best of their abilities, but eventually they are out of resources. It is only then do they look to outside organisations. This is what we love about JVF. And this is why we help. |
Our dream
At Help Us Learn, we have a dream. We work with project in Peru and Nepal tackling some difficult education issues, whether it be taking children off the streets or building schools to inspire others. These projects give us unique and personal experiences that reflect wider, more universally applicable educational issues. Using these special stories, we go to schools, youth centers and other establishments and talk with children about the troubles people of their ages are having in other parts of the world.
After that, we pose them a question. HOW WOULD YOU HELP THESE KIDS?
Once they've been asked the question, we hold workshops that invites and inspires them to come up with their own, unique fundraising activities.
All this with the ultimate goal of getting them to hold these fundraisers outdoors, to embrace and utilise nature and it's many benefits.
In doing so, we would have taught them about global educational issues, engaged with them to work together instilling leadership, team working and creative skills and inspired them to get outdoors. More importantly, giving them a reason to get outdoors. Once they have a reason, they have meaning, understanding and a connection with nature.
This, we feel, is what we need to teach children. Creativity and collaboration, giving them the space to learn what they want to learn and giving them a reason to want that. Helping them understand that nature isn't an obligatory part of life they must engage with but a beneficial and natural part of their existence that benefits as much from their presence as they do from it's presence. We need to help those communities that can do no more for themselves and ensure their children can receive a full and effective education. Ultimately, we want a more connected world where children from all over understand that we are a global society, with endless possibilities and that they are an integral part of it's future. To equip them with the tools to take on that future, is our goal. To ensure every child is educated to the fullest of it's environment's potential, is our dream.
