Did you know that there is a short supply of #Nigerian officers (#seafarers) to fill employment demands? This need stretches beyond the Nigerian coastal waters as the global maritime market seeks an average of 40,000 officers to fill current employment demands. The year 2023 was marked by the first cohort of 10 beneficiaries to receive full sponsorship to acquire maritime training and education at a reputable international maritime academy in Greece under the Tetra Foundation Seafarers Program. This year, our foot remains on the gas as we work on increasing our intake and expanding the impact of the Foundation on the young and underserved population of Nigerian youth. Spread the word! #maritimeeducation #blueeconomy #nigerianyouth #charity #scholarshipopportunities

We are beginning our fundraising early this year because we didn’t want to miss the opportunity to say thank you. Thank you for helping us welcome over 2500 students since we launched! Thank you for helping us provide technology and trauma-informed training across the US and beyond. Thank you for understanding that education can transform someone’s life. This #GivingTuesday (which we are starting early), let's stand together for a cause that matters. Imagine being forced to leave everything you know, only to arrive in a place where you can't communicate. This is the reality for millions of refugees and immigrants worldwide. But together, we are trying to change this, at least a little! We're raising funds to continue expanding access to free online language classes to refugees and immigrants in a trauma-informed space. These classes are more than just language lessons; they're a lifeline, a bridge to a new community, and a stepping stone towards a brighter future. Your donation can make a world of difference:  $25 can provide a refugee with a month's worth of language learning materials.  $50 can fund a full semester of classes $100 can provide a refugee with full access to classes and pastoral services. By helping refugees and immigrants learn the language of their new home, you're empowering them to find employment, pursue education, and contribute to their communities. You're giving them the tools they need to build a new life. This #GivingTuesday, let's give the gift of language, the gift of communication, and the gift of a brighter future. Donate today and together, we can make a change.  #Donate #Refugees #Immigrants #LanguageLearning #Empowerment #MakeAChange https://lnkd.in/exx3zkuz

As many of you know, 7 years ago I launched Felt Education in order to serve a community that lacked access to opportunities.

الحمدلله على التمام . I would like to share about this course ((firstly, I wants thanks for my instructor who encourage me to take it Dr. Rakan Alharbi, LL.M., S.J.D. and the organizer aramco )) which focused on lots of concepts about volunteering which have I will summarize on 4 points: 1. Importance of Volunteering: Volunteering helps the community and solves social problems. 2. Skill Development: Volunteering helps people learn new skills and gain experience. 3. Networking: Volunteering allows people to meet new friends and connect with others. 4. Sense of Fulfillment: Volunteering makes people feel happy and proud because they help others. #kfupm #aramco #Raied

Today is #GivingTuesday, if you feel compelled to give we’d love for you to consider giving the gift of travel through my nonprofit, Too Fly Foundation Black & Brown students are inequitably represented when it comes to studying abroad. Your donation, is helping create travel equity but also has positive downstream impacts on underrepresented and under-resourced students: **97% of study abroad students found employment within 12 months of graduation. **25% higher starting salaries: that's how much more study abroad students earn than those college graduates who do not study abroad. **100% of students who studied abroad saw their GPAs rise twice as quickly as a result of going abroad compared to students who did not. **97% of study abroad alumni found that students attributed study abroad to increased maturity. **96% of study abroad alumni claimed an increase in self-confidence attributed to study abroad. check out the impactful stores & give at: https://lnkd.in/gqjkmgm8

Today is #InternationalDayOfHappiness. The theme for this year is “Join the Happiness Movement” – an invitation to carry the torch of happiness forward, spreading joy wherever we go. This ideal reminds us that lasting happiness comes from feeling connected to others and being part of something bigger. Our name reflects these same sentiments, Rafiki is the Swahili word for “friend” and Thabo means “happiness”. So we commit to being the friend that brings happiness by enabling access to education for disadvantaged scholars including those living with disabilities in Kenya, Uganda and Lesotho. Connecting our supported scholars to unlimited opportunities through education.   #InternationalDayOfHappiness #HappinessDay #ChooseHappiness #CreateHappiness #SpreadJoy #BeHappy #EducationForAll #kenya #uganda #Lesotho #ChangingLives #EducationMatters #EducationIsPower #SupportingChildren #empowerment #BetterFuture #ChangeTheWorld #OurFuture #charity #ReachingGoals #RafikiThaboFoundation

Friends, I'm reaching out to you to spread the word about the needs of the AURA organization's project (Assistant for Ukrainian Refugees in Austin). The LAURA program (Language Assistance for Ukrainian Refugees in America) has been successfully providing a FREE service for the past 9 months – online lessons for adult Ukrainians. The aim is to help them quickly learn English and smoothly transition into their new society. America, a country of immigrants! It's no secret that English language proficiency is a direct key to employment and self-sufficiency! The main goal I pursued when creating this program for newly arrived Ukrainians, forced to leave our country due to the ongoing war, is to provide a knowledge base enabling them to achieve independence and self-sufficiency through securing better job opportunities! Basic things such as navigating the city, supermarkets, lease agreements, getting a driver's license, seeking medical help, enrolling a child in school, etc., become stress points and sources of disappointment for foreigners. Nothing can be worse than feeling helpless as an adult! The only thing worse is losing your home and native land, as many of us from Eastern Ukraine have already experienced. I'm from Eastern Ukraine myself! Today, the program is in need of financial support. Currently, the LAURA program has 80 Ukrainian students residing across America! Additionally, 250 people are on the waiting list to join the program! $4 per day is the amount that goes to provide education for 1 refugee student in our program today. Just imagine how affordable it is to help the program fulfill its mission for each and every one of you! Please also help us spread the word about this project, encouraging more people to join in supporting the life and prosperity of this initiative! Please visit the fundraising campaign for the LAURA project to learn all the details. Also, check out the AURA website for additional information! I need your support. And thanks for your contribution!

T-5 days to setting off for the 2000km Cycle for Hope Fundraising Expedition🚴! Excitement... Fear... & Gratitude... These are the three emotions that I've been feeling in the midst of preparing for this formidable expedition and fundraising for the Mae Tao Clinic. Any of my primary school or high school friends/teachers can attest to the fact that I'm not the most athletic person (by a long shot)- being exempt from physical education, NAPFA tests and later on IPPT tests. Upon hearing the devastating news of yet more refugees being forced across the Thai-Myanmar border, I could choose to stay in analysis paralysis, to do nothing, but I'm glad I chose action and to put my feet in motion🦵! I am reminded of the scale of the problems and my own challenges in light of the struggles that folks that are forced from their homes and deprived of basic human decencies/rights like education & healthcare face day in & day out... 🤔 What is two weeks compared to the 35 years which the Mae Tao clinic has been in operation for, and the even longer period of time that the Karen refugee crisis has been unfolding ever since Myanmar's independence in 1948? Yet this isn't about me, nor just about a faraway people- but about each and everyone of us. We're humans with emotions, hopes, fears, dreams and plans the same, some have more means to achieve/realise them whilst others less so. 🍽️ Will we choose to head to the buffet line knowing that there are a bunch of folks starving outside? I believe in the human spirit and this fundraising campaign has only reaffirmed this belief. Being a channel through which so much selfless giving has already occured as well as a recipient of much care and concern motivates me to keep pedalling and complete the expedition - not for myself but for every person who cares ❤️.
