Storytelling is a powerful way to keep culture vibrant - and for students like Taea Rattlesnake, it’s also the chance to share one’s vision with the wider world. This Plains Cree student is studying musical theatre performance at St. Lawrence College in a hands-on, conservatory-style program; she’s supported by the Roberta L. Jamieson Bursary through our Building Brighter Futures: Bursaries & Scholarships (BBF) program. She says: “This bursary was a major stepping stone in my educational journey, and it means that I'm able to move away from home and get the training I need without worrying about how I'll be able to afford it.” Taea has big plans for her post-graduation life, too: “My hope is to save up enough that after my schooling, I'll be able to move to a larger city nearby. Toronto has excellent opportunities for theatre, and the dream is to one day make it to New York City. I've known since I was very young that this is what I want and need to do with my life. Telling stories and connecting with audiences is such a fulfilling career…Every cent is another step closer to realizing my dreams and making some sort of impact through the stories I tell. It truly means so much. Thank you for your generosity and support.” Learn more about Taea’s story here. 👇 https://lnkd.in/d8WJTFK #BBF #Indigenous #Education #IndigenousExcellence #IndigenousStudents #Charity #CanadianCharity #NonProfit

The Journey continues ---- Principles ---- There are Principles in life that we must obey to attain certain results. Without a principled Orientation we cannot achieve any outcome. Behind every principle is a promise as trees and green plants obey the principles of nature, even if concrete was on the ground, their obedience breaks the concrete and the tree is made whole. Therefore Life is not hard, obedience is hard. Amongst us here are footballers, doctors, Engineers, dancers, Athletes of races, writers, speakers, planners, managers, even hairdressers, we are born to different gifts and different strengths as you write exams, you sometimes tend to develop a phobia that stops you from experiencing academic success. This academic success can be achieved if only you are given the reasons of your gifts. The principles to academic success is studying. Why then do we study? Most of us are caught in this trauma of academic downfall, only because we've not been given enough reason to study! Do you know the football you are gifted with can be linked to your study life? The same way you play music or run or sing can relate to your study life through Principles alone. Therefore academic Success is not hard but obedience to study principles is hard. We all have gifts some outside the walls of academic enrichment. So goes the question, since I have gifts, WHY MUST I STUDY.. #makeadifference #talent #love #community #people #education . #school #training #ngo #nfo #grants #funding #donate #crowdfunding #donors #donorlove. #charity #nonprofit #nonprofitsupport #volunteer #volunteeropportunities #makeadifference #makeadifferencetoday #helpingotherssucceed #4change #philanthropy #philanthropymatters #giveback #fundraising #fundraise #getfunded #unitednations #happyfounders #impact #change

But I can’t do this alone. 🤝 I need your help to make a real impact. Your support can change the course of someone's life, turning dreams into tangible outcomes.

"More than one in three young people — an estimated 16 million — never had an adult mentor of any kind (structured or“naturally occurring”) while they were growing up.* This population includes an estimated nine million at-risk youth who will reach age 19 without ever having a mentor — and who are therefore less likely to graduate high school, go on to college, and lead healthy and productive lives."

🏊♂️ A Channel Swim for Educational Excellence: Supporting St. Olave's Grammar School 🏫 I'm excited to share a significant personal challenge. This summer, I will be undertaking my second swim across the English Channel, this time to raise funds for St. Olave's Grammar School. Last year, I was privileged to complete this demanding 21-mile swim with my team, raising £1,100 for Mencap. You can read my blog here - https://lnkd.in/eEZQca6v . The experience was transformative, teaching me the power of community support and personal determination. Now, I'm channeling that energy into contributing to the institution that has shaped my academic journey. St. Olave's is renowned for its academic excellence and robust programs. However, in the spirit of continuous improvement, we're always seeking to enhance our areas even more such as upgrading classrooms with cutting-edge technology, expanding our library's digital and physical resources & improving our sporting facilities, including state-of-the-art cricket nets These enhancements aim to provide our students with even more opportunities to excel, discover their passions, and prepare for future challenges. The Channel swim is a formidable challenge. The water is bone-chillingly cold, currents are unpredictable, and the sheer distance is daunting. However, I draw inspiration from the dedication I witness daily in our classrooms. If our students can show such perseverance and determination in their studies, I'm motivated to match that commitment in the water. This endeavor is not just about my swim; it's about our collective ability to foster an environment of excellence. Every stroke I take in the Channel will be powered by the support of our community. How you can contribute to this initiative: 1. Donate - https://lnkd.in/e96WYhfX 2. Share this post to spread awareness 3. Offer words of encouragement or mentorship to our students Your support, in any form, will make a significant difference. Together, we can enhance the exceptional learning environment at St. Olave's and contribute to the future of education. I invite you to join me in this challenge. Let's make waves for educational excellence! #ChannelSwim #StOlaves #EducationalAdvancement #CommunityInitiative #StudentLeadership P.S. I'll be sharing updates on my training and the swim itself. Stay tuned for more on this journey!
