Empower Change: Donate for Laos Trip

The ripple effect is the cure!! #GIVEvolunteers

Being proactive in spreading awareness and kindness is a huge step in ending separation between humans, cultures, environments, and mindsets. Awareness that more similarities than differences lie between you, the person next to you, and Mother Nature, regardless of the distance, is a perspective GIVE so effortlessly merged into my life. CHOOSING unity. RECOGNIZING unity. FIGHTING for unity.

As some of you may be aware, this past summer I had the opportunity to travel to Thailand through the GIVE foundation. GIVE is a nonprofit organization that provides hands-on and eye-opening learning experiences that foster authentic connections between volunteers and host community members. GIVE empowers individuals to ignite sustainable change worldwide... aka the ripple effect!! GIVE builds the foundation to a future where local, social entrepreneurs are enacting solutions to poverty reduction, educational equity, women’s empowerment, wildlife conservation, food security, and ecosystem restoration across the planet. UNITY cannot arise if we're not willing to unite as a species.

When you support the GIVE Foundation, you are directly investing in the innovative thinkers, the ambitious students, the passionate educators, and the compassionate leaders who have the greatest capacity to achieve positive outcomes in their home countries and communities.

With that being said, I will be going on my second GIVE trip next May to Laos! I was back and forth about fundraising for my trip, but ultimately came to the conclusion that even if zero dollars were raised, awareness and inspiration are still present. My purpose is to inspire growth and change within individuals and my community. All donations will go towards fundraising for my trip personally, but will then go to the GIVE foundation directly supporting their nonprofit organization. All donations are 100% tax deductible and are accepted with so much gratitude and love. I CANNOT express how important and impactful this organization is for our world… every like, share, comment, donation, etc. is more than appreciated!
