6. Breaking Poverty Cycles: Empowering Children Through Education & Dreaming

Boundless Foundation empowers impoverished children through education and resources, inspiring them to "learn to dream," helping them rise above their daily struggle for survival and see a brighter future by opening their minds to new possibilities. The foundation's "Epic Exchange" program offers donors the chance to see the impact of their investments firsthand, experiencing the joy of giving and making a difference in the world. These visits open the hearts of the donor and expand the minds of the children instantly. Join us in transforming individuals and communities locally and globally for generational impact. Our speaker, Shannon Rizzo, is a humanitarian and social change catalyst with over 25 years of experience as a successful entrepreneur. Shannon consults with change leaders of nonprofit organizations, conscious corporations, and social entrepreneurs globally by advising them on all aspects of how to create a lasting living legacy by building communities with educational opportunities in some of the poorest corners of the world. Coming from poverty and overcoming the effects of living in survival mode for much of her life, Shannon has taken on the mission of ending generational poverty through education in developing nations in as many underserved communities as she can by uniting communities of compassionate supporters and continuous learners. To date, Shannon's charity, Boundless Foundation, has built 9 schools in under 2 years and has united over 60 communities both in the US and abroad, introducing them to the power of giving at a higher capacity. Shannon's deepest passion is serving those who serve. ⁠⁠More about the Rotary eClub of Silicon Valley⁠⁠    Website: ⁠⁠Rotary.cool⁠ Meetings’ ⁠⁠Video Archive⁠⁠ YouTubeChannel⁠⁠  How to become a member in ⁠⁠this online Rotary eClub⁠⁠ ⁠⁠More about Rotary International:⁠⁠ Website: ⁠⁠www.Rotary.org⁠⁠ Find a ⁠⁠local Rotary club⁠⁠  Find an ⁠⁠online Rotary Club⁠⁠   Podcast and Zoom Host: ⁠⁠Rushton Hurley⁠⁠ Podcast Producer: ⁠⁠Elton Sherwin⁠⁠ Audio edited and enhanced with: ⁠⁠Descript Studio Sound ⁠⁠  #PositiveChange #Inspiration #Rotary
