Jason's World of Opportunity

Inder and I, hanging out in the Indian Himalayas... He wasn't dealt the easiest hand in life, but yet he's one of the most jovial, hard-working and inspiring men I've met!

Friends, family, and colleagues –

This year I am helping Engineers Without Borders build a World of Opportunity for rural Africans.

In communities across Zambia, Malawi, Ghana and Burkina Faso there are millions of hardworking and innovative people seeking the chance to improve their lives. Yet, all too often they are stuck - unable to move forward because they lack the same opportunities that you and I have here in Canada.

I support EWB’s work to foster these opportunities for rural Africans. Specifically, I am motivated by EWB's focus on agriculture - the cornerstone of most African economies. EWB works in Burkina Faso, Ghana, Malawi and Zambia to increase opportunities for farmers to gain the business skills and knowledge they need to make a viable income from their humble plots of land. By working with farmer unions, development partners, government agencies and private companies, EWB is helping to develop lasting solutions to rural farming challenges.

This is why I am asking you to support EWB’s work this holiday season. I believe that EWB is a powerful vehicle for creating positive change. EWB is seeking to increase its impact – by doubling its volunteer capacity and flexibility to innovate. I know that they will use your donation effectively, and continue to make great things happen.

This holiday season please donate to my World of Opportunity campaign and support my passion and commitment to EWB. Together, we can help increase the opportunities for rural Africans to thrive.
