love.
whether emotion or duty, feeling or obligation, or some mysterious fusion, it is as essential to the human psyche as food or warmth are to the body. love is universal.
in the name of progress we have seen some grow in prosperity at the expense of, or at least in disregard of, others, birthing an ever widening chasm between the haves and the have-nots. this has lead to a world of discord, where some fuss over the exact details of the frivolity in which they live while others wonder how to reach the next sunrise. the task of closing this divide is that of a humanity which finally realizes its own worth. basic human dignity is found in not only recognizing injustice, but being moved enough to fix it, even when it’s inconvenient.
the concept of need is often felt to be relative, but at its basest level it is ubiquitous. all human beings are entitled to clean water, to adequate supplies of food, to the opportunity of education, to freedom from tyranny and oppression, to the existence of an environment in which the human spirit may flourish, and to love and be loved.
REVO is a movement dedicated to these ends, to giving one person the chance to love another, simply for love’s own sake. we hope to increase awareness of the real needs held by people all across the globe, and to give you the opportunity to provide for those needs by allowing you to love outside of yourself. take a homeless vet out to lunch and actually talk to him about life, dig a well in sub-saharan africa to provide water for a village of hundreds, donate your time to an after-school program in an at risk neighborhood, or give the cash you would have spent at the movies or the mall to help fund malaria research. in short, affect the world around you in a positive way. give of yourself. in this, we believe you’ll find the lives of both giver and receiver are enriched.
we’re in the process of planning our first REVOvegas event, showcasing local artists, musicians, and designers. all proceeds will go to a poverty relief organization. stay tuned for more details or get in touch with us to help get things moving.
