Hi Folks,
I could really use your help in getting the word out about the below
project (please help me out and post this to any lists your a part of,
as well as to all your friends).
As some of you know, I'm raising money to help a small school in
Ecuador. You bid on one of my paragliding courses, learn to fly, and
help kids in Ecuador get smart! If your not into flying, then buy it
for someone you know! Or you can donate money directly to the school
project and skip the auction, it's up to you (contact me and I'll tell
you how). All money donated is tax deductible.
Tomorrow is the last day (
Auction ends on August 31rst, 2010 at 12:00 pm (noon) PST)
(please help me out and post this to any lists your a part of, as well as to all your friends)
Here's the info:
Here's your last chance (auction ends tomorrow at noon)! Bid on one of
my Paraglider courses, learn to fly, and in the process help kids on the
coast of Ecuador get a good primary education! More info below.
THE
AUCTION: Instructor Kevin Lee is auctioning off a 2-week long
paragliding training course (P-2 rating) in the world class learning
environment of southern Oregon. Start your training on a gently sloped
training hills perfect for those first small flights. Eventually experience your first big mountain flight and ride the
thermals at the renowned Woodrat Mountain. Retail value for a P-2 course
is $1,800. (LATEST BID: $1,000)
THE CAUSE: Money from this auction will support a school in the coastal village of Canoa, Ecuador. Escuela Bilingue Los Algarrobos
provides education for low-income children in the community (Canoa
families typically live on only $85/month). The school is always in a
struggle to stay afloat financially, but is rich in community support
and parent involvement.The money you spend on your P-2 course will go a
long way in Ecuador: just $250 can send a kid to school for a year,
$3,000 hires an instructor! As an added bonus, if the auction winner
signs-up for one of Kevin’s Ecuador flying tours, Kevin will donate their tour fees to the school as well!
ABOUT KEVIN LEE: Kevin has taught paragliding
for over 15 years. In 2006, he received the prestigious Instructor of the
Year award from the United States Hang Gliding and Paragliding
Association. Safety is a priority for Kevin, and he prides himself in
“connecting” with his students energetically to help them gain
confidence and fly with full passion for the sport! Each year Kevin
leads paragliding tours in Ecuador. His admiration of the culture has
inspired him to “give back” to the country that has given him so much.
