Otesha Project on the Road to a Brighter Future
WEB Reference, July 2005 (Otesha website) - For a better future, we each must re-evaluate our own actions and BE the change we want to see in the world. A dream born in Kenya has become a grassroots organization of hopeful young people uniting as the Otesha Project. Otesha, which means "reason to dream" in Swahili, was created to enable and empower our generation to take action towards a sustainable future. It is based on the belief that there are alternatives to our society of overconsumption, and that each one of us has the opportunity to have a positive impact, every single day. The Otesha Project's education programs and bicycle tours use theatre, multi-media, puppetry, and story-telling to engage a wide range of audiences. They focus on re-evaluating our daily choices to reflect the kind of future we'd like to see - rethinking what we really need, conserving resources, and voting with our dollars. We aim to demonstrate the positive effects our everyday choices can have, by living sustainably, changing the world, and having loads of fun - all at the same time! http://www.otesha.ca/the+project/.
