i started Keep Calm & Carry On last summer as a means of sharing the things that interest me- with my friends and anybody else who stumbled upon my site after a failed search for this WWII poster. most of these interests lie in the domains of food, fashion, and design, but today’s post is an exception. two of my friends are involved in a group called ChangEducate, which seeks to “raise awareness of poverty and to empower students to make a difference” through a DVD-based curriculum. by targeting the self-perpetuating problem of poverty through youth education, ChangEducate is taking a practical, efficient approach to an increasingly pressing issue.
of course, ChangEducate needs funds in order to put this plan into action. they’re currently in the running for a grant from the Pepsi Refresh Project, which is giving millions of dollars to people, businesses, and non-profits with positive ideas. the selection process is voting-based, so please click here to vote for ChangEducate. it’s a quick and easy process, so do it today (and tomorrow, and the day after- voting continues until the end of march.) much love and thanks from both myself and the wonderful people behind this project!
KC&CO,
