Gooooooddd Morrnninnggg SuperForest!
Round two of Leaders Causing Leaders. If you missed the first part, click here!
Today I am going to present to you two extremely inspirational people. Meet Rich and Yvonne Dutra-St. John.
This two lovely people are the founders of Challenge Day, an organisation that works with youth to bring out love and humanity. They go into high schools and colleges throughout the United States to show children just how similar we really all are. On top of that they now have a TV show on MTV that you may have heard of called “If You Really Knew Me.” These two are the real deal. They are changing the world in the most fantastic of ways. I have their talk in three parts, so please take the time to sit down and enjoy. The first video is an intro to Challenge Day when they were on Oprah. It is very emotional, so you might want to sit with some tissues.
After their talk we, as an audience, participated in a mine Challenge Day. They stated groups, and requested that we stand if we thought we fit in that group. I do not have video from that, but their video series is available on youtube, and here is the same activity we did. It brought me to tears participating, and watching.
These guys are for real. They reach out and touch your soul. If you at all interested in getting involved with these amazing people head of to their website by clicking here, or contacting me, and I will get you in touch with the right people. To close this post I am going to practice something that Yvonne and Rich taught me, and a follow up to SuperForester Heather’s wonderful post yesterday.
If I really knew you what would I know?
If you feel inclined please feel free to share in the comments section, if not that is great too! At the very least think about what you would say. Either way it is superbly powerful. Maybe give the question a think and share with someone in the room. Go out and ask you friends, you will be surprised by what you don’t know.
Lots o’ love SuperForest,
Mathew
