Goal
At the start of this year, two of my goals for 2023 were:
1) To run and cycle for a combined 8500 kilometres
2) To use my professional expertise and network to help actively support a charitable cause that I was passionate about
On the second goal, this year I joined talentTtrust, a volunteer organisation here in Singapore that connects business professionals with non-profit charities, to help provide consulting expertise that creates sustainable and meaningful change. After considering the charitable opportunities that talentTtrust was supporting, I decided to join the Child at Street 11 project, as I have a passion for education.
Child at Street 11 is a charity that was established to help provide education for children in families who are unable to afford the typical fees. Their goal is to support children living in highly diverse but inequitable settings, so that they aren’t excluded from building a solid academic foundation in their formative schooling years. The Centre inflows are derived from families paying what they can afford, as well as relying on government grants and raising funds from donors.
During this year, myself and our team of mentors have visited the school, met some of the children, and worked with the leadership at Child at Street 11, to develop a fundraising and communications strategy, with our goal being to help ensure that this wonderful facility can remain in operation for future generations of children who need it. We are reaching the end of our project, and the school management will soon be moving to the execution phase of the fundraising strategy, which will involve contacting potential donors to request funds.
Back to my first goal of running and cycling for a combined 8500 kilometres this year. Well, we’re in the last month of the year, and in hindsight, my goal may have been a bit… ambitious. I’m still several hundred kilometres away (I had a leg injury in Sept/Oct which slowed me down but has improved since).
So here is my request;
I’ll commit to doing whatever it takes to clock up the kilometres needed to hit the goal of 8500 by the end of this month. My ask of you, is to please help sponsor me to get there, where every dollar raised will go directly to Child at Street 11 for their fundraising campaign to help keep the school in operation. No donation is too small! Donations will be matched by the Singapore Government.
This campaign has just been launched today and will be active until January 3 2024, where all proceeds raised will be presented to the school CEO on January 4.
With enormous thanks, from Adam, on behalf of the current and future students of Child At Street 11.
