5 Reasons to Fund School Travel for Good
“Certainly, travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of living.” Mary Ritter Beard
As parents and leaders it is our job to prepare the next generation for the challenges and obstacles life may bring. We at recruiting for good are making it our mission to help people change and see the world. And believe the best place to start inspiring change is in schools.
5 Reasons to Fund School Travel for Good
1) Travel teaches; that we are all the same, we breath, we drink, and we laugh like everyone else. Travel teaches compassion.
2) Travel teaches real life lessons about all the things we learn in books.
3) Travel inspires creative thinking. Young people are more in-tune with what is happening around the world.
4) Travel inspires participation. Seeing a problem, children will start their own causes to try to help and make a difference.
5) Travel is fun. With all the pressures of school, and education. Sometimes it just good to enjoy life and have fun.
“It’s better to hang out with people better than you.” Warren Buffet
Travel to Find People Better Than You
One of the best ways to learn about life, and find out who you are, and where you belong is when you travel away from your comfort. People will surround you, thinking you are better than them, and you will be attracted to them for the same reasons. Only to find out that you are all the same; beautiful human beings.
I want to live in a world where people unplug from their Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn; and connect and engage in person (travel). “Look me in the eye and tell me you like my smile, you miss talking to me, and I will make you laugh.”
Greatest gift we can teach kids is to be themselves.
Let’s make it possible for our kids to find themselves, to genuinely connect to their humanity, and to make the world a better place to work and live.
Inspire your kids school to travel for good.
Where does your kids’ school want to travel?

Travel to TEDx and Make a Difference Too
Travel to TEDx and Make a Difference Too. I recently attended TEDx for the first time. And I was touched, moved, and inspired.
One of my favorite presentations at TEDx Venice, was given by Maria Scileppi; she spoke about making one new friend for 365 days.
During one of the breaks at the TEDx event, John Bates (one of the hosts) and I were speaking with Leslie Ann Lewis, one of the attendees, her enthusiasm propelled us to discuss the idea of making travel to TEDx worldwide possible. “How awesome would it be if everyone could attend TEDx anywhere in the world, explore new cities, and meet new friends.”
Within days, I thought about how I can incorporate the idea of traveling to TEDx worldwide and make a difference too. For the individual who does attend TEDx, the experience is life changing. I am an excellent example of that.
The first 10 people to join our Co+Op (check out how we can make this happen), and use their social contacts to enable recruiting for good to raise monies for local social causes and start-ups (we are looking to raise $100,000) will be rewarded;
1) A trip to attend TEDx in South Africa in March 2014.
2) A week long safari (provided by Infinite Safari Adventures).
3) John Bates will travel along, and provide his ‘TED-Worthy’ communication training.
Is this for real? You bet. Do you want to be remembered for someone who started it all? Contact us today to help locally and travel globally.
I apologize for taking time to self-promote, and inspire you to participate in collaborative funding, and earn global travel rewards.
I want to thank Leslie Ann Lewis, and Maria Scileppi for inspiring me to create a fun travel solution to enjoy TEDx and make a difference too.
What’s next…..Would you like to attend TEDx Jerusalem in May 2014 and raise money for your causes and start-ups?
P.S. We are not affiliated with TED or TEDx. We are just offering the means to attend inspiring events worldwide, make new friends, have fun, and change the world.
