Be a hero in your community!
The worldwide community often proves its ability to work together to help those suffering from a major disaster. While this generosity is important, too often those suffering in our neighborhoods get overlooked. Whether it’s an elderly woman needing help carrying her groceries, or a family struggling to pay their bills, someone needs help right in our backyards. Unfortunately, they will not receive any without the benefit of the world stage.
The Odyssey Angels program wants to challenge you to use your unique creative problem-solving abilities to help some aspect of your community that would otherwise be overlooked. In return, one team will be selected to attend World Finals to present how it helped its community.
What can you do to help others?
Congratulations Pinetree Secondary School of British Columbia, Canada!
This group was selected to present its Odyssey Angels project at the 2012 Odyssey of the Mind World Finals in Ames, Iowa. The decision was extremely difficult due to the wide range of heartfelt projects submitted. Many communities benefited from the generous projects completed over the year. Pinetree was selected due to its generosity and creativity in helping a fellow community member raise awareness in his Push for Change Campaign that benefits homeless youth. The students designed a special shopping cart that community member Joe Roberts will push across Canada. Check back soon for more details!
