Awareness Video - Jimmy Nelson Foundation

Описание: It is time...
This year, we were all reminded of the fragile state of our being. For the foundation, this meant changing strategy, but above all it made us all realise how important the work of the foundation is. We, as humanity, are at a crossroads where we can decide to either pursue our way of life with the inevitable outcome it will destroy our planet, ór we can reflect and return to the source of what it means to be human. The knowledge on how to shape our future is closer than we think because it is already out there. The Indigenous communities around the world have never stopped living in harmony with their environment. It is time to value these peoples for their true importance and support them to keep their wisdom alive! If together we are able to safeguard their important cultures, we might be able to pass this test of time...and implement new and old knowledge into our daily lives.

YOU CAN ACT NOW
It has been our great honour to set up the first reciprocity projects in this past year. As we, like the rest of the world, could no longer travel, it became more than clear that the way we work with the people on the ground and directly with the communities is the way forward. It has been the communities who Jimmy met along his journeys who were coming up with plans on how to safeguard their community, their family, their tradition, their wisdom, their culture. It is they who are in charge of the kind of project we support setting up within their territory. When we collect all the funding it is the community who will execute the project with a trusted NGO on the ground. Funds from Jimmy Nelson B.V. were donated into all of the projects to give the first kick-start and we are proud to say we are up and running! Your support is also very needed to be able to fund the projects to their end. Together we can actually bring this heritage of humanity into the future, check out www.jimmynelsonfoundation.com to find out how you can contribute!
