Six Seconds has been helping communities around the world create awareness for children’s rights, building emotional intelligence and mental health wellbeing. During the last quarter, we have received outstanding support from our donors.
To date, we have raised $13,777 from 199 donors.
News from Volunteers
Early this year, we sent out a post POP-UP Festival survey to our volunteers to get feedback on the 2019 Festival. Our volunteers shared some powerful experiences:
“We had this child named Alaya who was always afraid to express her feelings as being told to us by her teacher. But when she started doing activities suddenly opened up with ideas and emotions with our team. Even teachers were surprised to see her capabilities.”
“A parent told us that their child is using the tool at home that we introduced during the POP-UP Festival. The parent told us that it's helping with their relationship.”
“A girl came up with tears of joy saying that she was afraid to express emotions, now she feels relaxed, encouraged and aware of her emotions as important data.”
“POP-UP Festival is a brilliant initiative towards a more emotionally intelligent and self-aware community. An experience that offers bite sized chunks of information in a funny and engaging way.”
What’s Next for POP-UP 2020?
Due to the overwhelming response from people around the world, we’ve set our goal to reach 3M people this year.
We’re looking at expanding our network of mentors to mobilize countries and regions.
We’ve added a staff member to help with logistics and outreach
We’re creating a new collection of activities to address climate crisis and support SDG13 Climate Action. (more news soon about this!)
How can you help POP-UP?
As we think about our 2020 plans, we know we can only reach these goals with the support of our network. In order to continue to provide additional resources to people around the world, we’ll be launching a spring fundraising campaign to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Earth Day from April 20– 24 2020 . We’re looking forward to a big show of support to make this year’s POP-UP bigger and better!
Thank you from the whole team at Six Seconds
YAY for POP-UPs
