The Otesha Project
On September 19th to 21st a cycling group, part of an organization called the Otesha Project camped out in St. David’s Hall.
The group of 13 were cycling from Halifax to St. John’s Newfoundland. The Otesha Project consists of young adults who being a message of sustainability, social justice, environmental awareness and spirituality to people through dramatic or comedic presentations to schools, service clubs, church groups or anyone else who is interested.
The group put on a half hour presentation at St. David’s on Sunday, September 21st which was well received by the congregation.
After three nights in sleeping bags on the floor of the hall and making their own meals, they departed on Monday morning, leaving the hall spic and span (even washing the floor) and left notes of thanks for the hospitality.
On each note was written, along with their words of thanks, this message; We are the change we want to see in the world. Cycling from Halifax to St. John’s, we inspire a positive message about sustainability. We can live in harmony with the earth and with each other.
The Otesha Project is a registered charity and to learn more, we can go to www.otesha.ca.
