We all know that children are the future of the world, right?
Well ozforacause is proud to announce our newly formed partnership with FREE THE CHILDREN org. FTC is dedicated to helping disadvantaged children by providing them with schooling and the hope of a better, more prosperous tommorow.We have also teamed up with Surfrider foundation. They are an environmental organization dedicated to the protection and enjoyment of the world's oceans, waves and beaches for all people, through conservation, activism, research and education.
I'd like to meet:
We get numerous messages pledging loyalty and support to "THE CAUSE". What is "THE CAUSE" though, really? It has little to do with us individually (Garrett and Kyle), riding bicycles over 10,000 miles around Australia. More importantly it has to do with our generation. A generation of young, intelligent, and good people… who can choose to learn from the past and are unwilling to continue blindly following. WE CHOOSE CHANGE, which comes though EDUCATION and TOLERANCE. Change starts with small choices that add up to actions that that were previously thought impossible. Fear and oppression separate and confuse our only true power, UNITY. We hope that in numbers we will rise up and contribute to the evolution of mankind though interdependent living and THE GENERAL IMPROVEMENT OF THIS PLANET WE CALL HOME. Life is beautiful and amazing and people often forget that it is there for the taking. To remind you all, our friends, our movement starts with three very average guys. To grow, we need dedication and help from a community that believes in the future of the world and the possibilities and power of the individual. In each of us there is room for strength and greatness, not just the weakness we have come to accept (and sadly so often expect). The choice is ours! Help us grow, HELP THE WORLD REALIZE THE POTENTIAL IN ALL OF US, thereby becoming a world that is based on acceptance and progression. If you are truly serious about helping, go to our site at WWW.OZFORACAUSE.COM and register. Write us here (through MySpace), at [email protected], or on aim ozforacause with any questions, dreams, suggestions, wishes, contacts, and/or ideas on what you would be willing to do to help us out. Our main concern at this juncture is TO GET THE WORD OUT (we do have press releases available if needed). Are you good at art, computers, have access to a printer (shirts, stickers, etc...). Let's get creative! Let’s smash the door of complacency... Let's show the world what "Generation X,†“Generation WHY,†and all the others to come are made of...We appreciate every single person’s dedication to help this dream become THE FUTURE, and thank you in advance for helping to create a world full of beauty and potential.“We must be the change we wish to see in the world."
Mahatma Gandhi"If you want to change the world, first try to improve and bring about change within yourself. That will help change your family. From there it just gets bigger and bigger; everything we do has some effect, some impact."
His Holiness the Dalai LamaMuch Love,
Kyle
