What is the Dreamathon?
Dreamathon is one of the many events of the The Joy of Giving Week. By participating, you can support your favorite NGO/cause by simply living out your hobby/passion. That's right, by simply doing what you love doing best, you can raise money for your favourite charity, promote awareness for a cause you care about, or just train those less fortunate in the skills you acquired.
How does it work?
Say, you were an avid wildlife photographer. You could participate in the Dreamathon by:
- Organizing an exhibition of all the photographs you've shot, at your office or in your society or home. Tie up with a local print shop and sell the photos to people for use on coffee mugs, t-shirts and calendars - or as screensavers for their laptops and mobiles. Donate all the money you collect to your chosen NGO/cause.
- If you're not comfortable raising money, turn it into an awareness promotion exhibition: get members of a wildlife NGO to come over to your exhibition and talk to your friends about the issues and challenges nature faces, and how all of us can contribute.
- Alternatively, you could reach out to a nearby orphanage and have a few youth accompany you on a weekend photography expedition where you teach them how to shoot great photographs while getting closer to nature!
How can I participate?
Simply think about what you like doing best and convert that passion to support for your favorite NGO/cause today!
