We are excited to launch our Zesty Legends program today!

Here’s why…

“Last April Stuy and myself sat down for a frank chat over coffee. We looked back at what Zest4Kidz had achieved in its short 6 years of existence. We recounted amazing trips to work with orphans in Georgia, Albania & Belarus, sex slaves and slum kids in India, as well as with child soldiers and AIDS orphans in Uganda. Stuy shared some mad stories of walking into a boys prison in Belarus, prepared to run a camp for 100 lads, only to find 400 young men staring at him behind the rusty prison gates! Or the time their bus was stopped by rebel soldiers in Uganda and Stuy slept through the whole ordeal! Mad stuff! We also started to count the number of young lives that Zest4Kidz has had the privilege of changing and the result was staggering: over 6,500!

Stuy & I then took some time to dream about the future and what Zest4Kidz could become. We dreamt about opening new schools in India, new disability homes in Uganda and a family home and mentoring program in Belarus. We dreamt about a poultry & piggery farm in Uganda to finance learning programs and about partnerships between primary schools in Ireland and India. We dreamt about new housing for former child soldiers and for a thriving rehabilitation center in Uganda.

 

And then Stuy and I stopped dreaming, set down our coffees, looked each other in the eye and committed to making these dreams come true.

 

We knew right away that these dreams were bigger than us, that it would take a team of impassioned individuals to achieve so much.

It was out of this need that Zesty Legends was birthed.

Zesty Legends is an exclusive club for those who connect with the heart of Zest4Kidz. They are the individuals who hear these dreams and know they want to be a part of seeing them become reality. It’s only through their passion, their creativity and their generosity that we’ll be able to grow and change more lives.

So I’m asking you to consider joining your heart with the heart of Zest4Kidz and to become a Zesty Legend today.”
