Creative Education Organization in South Africa

Hey Guys-

I'm currently living in South Africa running an Education organization, Imagine Scholar. We focus on building imagination, creativity, and critical thinking skills for rural high school students. Pretty cool stuff.

I planned my trip back to the US this year to overlap with the Burn, and I thought it would be awesome while there to connect with fellow burners for ideas and spread the word about our project and its very Burning Man-esque mission. That being said I don't want to be annoying or come out looking like some kind of lame solicitor.

So I'm humbly asking you guys if you have any advice or ideas on how to talk about our very cool project in a creative fun way.

Thanks so much for your help,

Corey

Sounds like a worthwhile project, but it has been my experience that BM isn't a good venue for promoting anything. Nobody has the time or interest in listening when there is so much else to do and see.

If you find people with a similar interest, you might be able to arrange something.

Maybe some of the 'crowd funding' websites

Are you aware of them? Indiegogo, me-force (meblitz)

I heard there have been HUGE regional burns in South Africa!!
