Donations brought me to COP30 in Brazil.

They were used up before the conference period ended.

The work did not stop.

I didn’t either.

Since COP30, the World Sustainability Tour has continued across the Amazon and the Andes of South America. Proposed MOUs with universities and invitations from schools and communities are under discussion.

This page supports the continuation and stabilization of that work.

Support goes directly to me - not to a faceless institution, not to administrative costs - so I can continue safely, sustainably, and with dignity on the ground.

Several of the fantastic donors here have made it clear: they wanted their support going directly to me so the work could continue. This page reflects that reality.

What is Childhood1st?

A simple, replicable action parents around the world can use:

Children’s Letters to the Future

Children write their own letters or create their drawings addressed to:

- Their future selves

- SustainaClaus

- Papai Noel Sustentável

- Local leaders

- National or global decision-makers

  - Anyone they want...

Children express:

- The future they hope for

- How they believe the planet should be cared for

 - What they expect from responsible adults

Importantly, children are photographed holding the letter over their face.

Their voice is visible. Their identity is protected. The adults become curious and interested in what the letters say!

Photos are then shared through the parents’ or guardians’ own social media channels, or in supervised school or community settings.

Many letters sent to or collected by SustainaClaus and helpers have been delivered to local or global leaders through media and public presentation.

Proud parent citizens of ConscienceLAND (sign up at https://ExtinctionFighter.com) can present their children’s letters or drawings for display on the Childhood1st gallery.

No politics.

No fear campaigns.

No child exploitation.

Just children speaking safely and directly to power.

WHY THIS MATTERS NOW

Kindly made donations covered COP30.

They were exhausted months ago.

Since then, the continuation of this work has depended on persistence, invitation, and improvisation.

Momentum exists.

Stability does not.

If Childhood1st is to continue expanding across communities, it needs grounding.

Your support allows me to:

- Travel between invitations and proposed partnerships

- Maintain safe accommodation

- Stay healthy and operational

- Sustain communication and documentation

- Prepare materials and translation

- Keep the digital backbone alive

This is not about reaching any particular conference.

It is about sustaining a global continuation that is already (amazingly) in motion.

Future meetings and conferences are checkpoints along the journey - not the purpose of it. The Children are 1st.

HOW FUNDS ARE USED

Your donation supports me directly for:

- Current travel across South America and beyond

- Safe lodging

- Food and daily living while working

- Internet and technical capacity

- Materials and translation

- Essential domains and platforms

Nothing is diverted to administration or institutional overhead.

GIVING LEVELS

$25 - Keep the signal alive

$100 - Support a Letters to the Future session

$250 - Help expand to a new community

$1,000 - Sustain a journey leg

$5,000+ - Sustaining supporter

Please remember that any amount helps stabilize "continuation".

IN CLOSING...

The donations stopped.

I didn’t.

If this work matters to you, now is the moment to help it stand on stable ground again.

With gratitude in advance...
