In solidarity with Alberta's First Nations and Indigenous communities, I am raising money in support of the Young Indigenous Women's Circle of Leadership youth camp by getting sponsorship for a 5km walk/run on December 4th, 2016.
The money will be donated to the YIWCL to be used for basic operational costs of their 8-day intensive, Cree-immersion cultural camp. Recently, this camp lost funding and faces an uncertain future.
$2000 means that a young woman can be brought in from northern communities to attend the camp. She will receive tuition, housing, food and all other necessities while she is in attendance.
This initiative means a lot because one of the first points of cultural erosion and social disorder is the erasure of a community's history and culture. Incredible social change comes through the empowerment of women and the creation of safe spaces in which they can learn and grow.
We are doing our very small part to get fundraising kick-started for this very worthwhile cause and would appreciate your support.
Donors will receive social media shout-outs and other perks along the way.
