Transition Town Exmouth @ Exmouth Festival >>>>>>>> Friday 22nd - Thursday 28th May >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The Buturi Project and 'Footprints Across the World' >>>

In a week's time, the annual bash at Exmouth kicks off - and Transition Town Exmouth would like to showcase an inspiring project:

Festival & Carbon Footprint Project 

The approaching Exmouth Festival at the end of May (Friday 22nd to Thursday 28th) has inspired us to plan a stall to be shared with Judith Smith's Buturi project.

Judith's vision is to see an environmentally sustainable roadmap for development in her native Tanzania. Judith has attended one of our Umbrella Group meetings and we found sufficient common ground to seek ways of cooperating. The theme of the stall is to be 'Footprints Across the World' and we will be attempting to demonstrate the contrasting carbon footprints of typical families in our two countries. 

This is an ambitious theme and Noel, who is coordinating would like to hear from anyone able to help in the planning and anyone willing to commit time to the stall over the Bank Holiday weekend.

BUTURI MISSION: 

The Aichi-Nagoya Declaration calls for urgent action on education for sustainable development. The Buturi Makongoro Project plays its part with a series of self-sustainable, interlinked programmes prioritising education. 

The Global Partnership for Youth in the post-2015 Agenda says: “Over 1 million of the 1.5 million voters in the MyWorld2015 survey chose education as their top priority…Young people have urged for a post-2015 education goal that guarantees that all children have equitable access to education and that all children are learning”. Buturi Makongoro Project expresses the need to access broad quality education from early childhood to post-primary, integrating vocational training and life skills.

The BMP is a pilot project that will lead to a future regional framework reflecting the priorities of those directly affected by poverty and injustice. The BMP will fill a crucial gap in the deficit in education and training by dealing directly with poverty at ground level.

The charity’s focus is on empowering the community and encouraging sustainability without imposing ideas but by encouraging the community to use its own initiative and skills to move forward and bring hope. The project works closely with the school to ensure successful progress now and in the future.

100% of donations go directly to the Project and the Buturi Makongoro Project has no administration fees.
