<div>Hey there, my name is Kalden. I’m 19 years old, born and raised in Scotland, and this fundraiser supports three interconnected paths of service, creativity, and learning.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>1) Work in Ecuador
</div>
<div>The first part of this fundraiser supports my time working with the Aya Pacha Foundation in Ecuador. This will involve hands-on charity work including renewable agriculture, building projects, participation in ceremonial spaces, and learning directly from indigenous Mayan spiritual traditions.
</div>
<div>This will be a two-month journey focused on service, cultural respect, and integration — experiences that will directly inform the creative and educational work I’m developing.
</div>
<div>Estimated cost: ~£1300
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>2) Music and creative tools
</div>
<div>The second part supports the development of my musical practice. For the past 15 months I’ve dedicated 3–6 hours daily to guitar (classical and acoustic) and keyboard. My long-term intention is to create albums and to hold musical space in ceremonial and reflective settings — something my time in Ecuador directly contributes toward.
</div>
<div>Funds will go toward repairs, strings, and small equipment upgrades over the next 6–12 months.
</div>
<div>Estimated cost: ~£300
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>3) Writing and research
</div>
<div>The final part supports time to write a three-part book series titled ‘Self is the Colour of Creation’. The series explores identity, coherence, and liberation — beginning with a clear structural model, then applying it to lived human experience, and finally connecting it to symbolic interpretations found across cultures and belief systems.
</div>
<div>This support allows me to live simply while completing the writing.
</div>
<div>Estimated cost: ~£400 (around £100/month while writing)
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>At its heart, this fundraiser supports my deepest wish: to offer awareness, care, and creativity back into the world through service, music, and writing and to do so with sincerity, humility, and love.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For anyone curious to hear me speak directly, I’ve also shared a relaxed podcast conversation with a close friend where we talk about Ecuador, music, love vs fear, and reflections on modern life. This is the first part of a wider conversation that will continue over time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you to anyone who takes the time to read this and to anyone who feels moved to support or share. ❤️
</div>
