Congo Expedition for Education
Donation protected
Expedition Congo for Education is set for February - March/April, 2016 and is the 6th expedition of the non-profit, Healing Seekers. Healing Seekers is a 501c3 that explores some of the most isolated and remote areas of the world, capturing the wonder of the Planet and its life in film. In order to capture the purity of life, one must travel way off the beaten path.
Since 2006, our organization has been an all volunteer organization.
We believe that a true education extends far beyond the typical classroom experience, and it opens & broadens hearts as well as minds. Our educational materials are vastly unique and cover a wide range of subjects: from biology to ecology, geography to zoology, social studies to religious and spiritual practices.
Presently our educational materials are with one of the largest online media services and are available to over 50,000 schools (20-30 million students) in the USA alone. They are also available on our website and on YouTube.
In November, we signed another contract with a distribution company, New Dimension Media, which makes all Healing Seekers videos available to over 100,000 public and private schools primarily in the USA.
Healing Seekers' 2016 Congo Expedition for Education will be to a region in the Republic of the Congo which has never been explored and documented by outsiders. We will take a small team of 3 and join with 12-15 guides and porters who live in the Congo.The expedition will be extremely intense and will require incredible perserverance from each member.
We are in need of funding to cover some of the gear, medical supplies including anti-venoms, rental of off road vehicles, fuel and repair kits, a back-up HD camera, batteries and sound equipment, machetes, extra water filtration devices, multiple extra large heavy duty dry bags, 2 satellite phones, solar chargers, and flights within country.
We have secured well over half of the funding needed for this expedition; but are in need of this last portion.
Our world is becoming smaller and its untapped, pristine areas and indigenous people are becoming treasures of history. The educational materials we create are unique, which complement school curriculums while also serving as a recorder of history. We hope that the materials bring awareness and encourage preservation; and will influence younger generations to be better stewards and protectors of the life forms, indigenous people and the environments which thrive on Earth.
