Unstoppable Foundation: Not stopping until every child receives education

Image Source: freeimageslive.co.uk

Education is empowerment. For Unstoppable Foundation, learning equates to lesser HIV cases and pregnancies in young women, longevity of life, increase in income, and ultimately, alleviation from poverty. Therefore, the organization has been investing in and bringing knowledge to the children of Kenya, Liberia, and Uganda.

In Kenya, the foundation has funded 17 schools. One of them is the Emori Joi Primary School. Built in 1969, this once-overcrowded mud structure has been rebuilt to include 16 school houses, water projects, latrines, and a library. To date, the school provides educational access to 768 local children. From the initial 60% in student attendance, Unstoppable Foundation has increased it by 20% more.

Uganda has also benefitted from the organization’s generosity. Luwero, in particular, has gained greatly from the foundation’s initiatives. Once ruled by a dictator, this impoverished section of Uganda had been besotted by far-reaching social malady. Even the children of today are crushed by the harshest conditions of poverty, AIDS, illiteracy, and lack of support for the empowerment of girls and women. Wanting to counter these problems, the organization has fully outfitted schools to provide a safe and conducive environment for children to discover their potentials. In addition, the group has also afforded girls with their long-been-deprived-of right to education through “The Girl Effect Project.”

Battered by the 14-year old civil war, Liberia has in effect had 85% illiteracy rate. For 14 years, Liberian children have been used as tools for unspeakable atrocities. But in 2005, with the change in administration, Liberia gradually saw change-- the disarmament and education of 20,000 child soldiers. Now, Liberian kids are holding pens and papers and slowly reaching their dreams through the organization’s aid in Becky Primary and Elwou Orphanage.

Today, the organization has funded 22 schools, which will empower 71, 960 children. Setting its sights on teaching more children, Unstoppable Foundation continues its pledge of ensuring every child gets access to education.

"Winning isn't everything, but making the effort to win is."— Vince Lombardi

Renowned life coach and public speaker Marc Accetta did not make a name for himself overnight. Before he started “edutaining” his listeners and gaining recognition for his work, Mr. Accetta was initially a student of what he currently teaches. “I did not grow up with a high level of self-confidence or self-esteem,” he confessed.

Guided by the words of Lombardi, he used his burning desire to better himself by putting it into action. He started developing his skills and improving his knowledge by reading books, learning from the people he met, and attending seminars. His efforts yielded brimming results not just for himself, but also for the people he encountered and helped. He ultimately developed a love for sharing the things he learned. “I realized that achieving success in my own life was not enough for me,” Marc Accetta added.

Viewing from the edge with Marc Accetta: Provide yourself with a new perspective on life

From Marc Accetta

Life can be extremely troublesome at times that people seem to easily lose hope and succumb to fear. Marc Acceta, the renowned public speaker, has a different standpoint. The problems people face should not necessarily drive them to look away and escape. Sometimes people just need to look upon things on a different perspective. Up to now, Marc continues to change lives through this perspective.

Edutainment—this is the tool that Marc uses in order to share his profound thoughts to his listeners. He speaks with humor and wit to easily connect with the people he talks to. By using entertainment to educate, he can convey his message in a manner that captivates his listeners. He keeps the audience engaged through light conversation—a strong testament to how he views life at a different perspective as he discusses heavy life matters in a very light pace.

Marc Accetta himself also felt absolutely undetermined at one point of his life. Back in 1982, right after he graduated college with a degree in Political Science, he was not decided as to which path his life would steer to. Following his heart and guts, he tried and ventured in the world of sales. With a mix of perseverance and determination, Marc started to reap success. He began teaching others what he learned from his experiences from the world of sales and from life in general as well.

Marc Accetta Helps Kids Prepare for Life through the Unstoppable Foundation

From Marc Accetta

Master Motivator Marc Accetta and his equally inspiring wife, Kelly, have known what it means to succeed. Marc, specifically, is renowned as one of the most exciting, informative, and compelling success coaches around. Thousands from all over the world flock his seminars to see his signature brand of Edutainment and learn to develop confidence and a positive attitude. He is also the National Training Director for WorldVentures, one of the fastest growing travel marketing companies in the world. And yet, with all these success, Marc feels he still has one ultimate mission to fulfill: to teach kids how to prepare for life's battles and succeed.

Marc Accetta, together with Kelly, founded the Unstoppable Foundation with the mission of teaching middle school-aged kids life lessons that aren't usually taught in a regular classroom, which is more focused on academics. Their involvement with the Big Brother, Big Sister Foundation was a big factor in the inception of the Unstoppable idea.

Also part of the development of the idea for the Foundation was Marc's realization that when people come in to his seminars, they're already in their 20s, 30s, 40s, or higher, and have already experienced much frustration and negativity in life. He figured that if he can help make professionals and businessmen turn their life around for the better, why not teach kids to prepare themselves to face life's challenges before they even face them, therefore helping them avoid setbacks and disappointments.

From Marc Accetta

Some of the lessons Marc teaches in the foundation are based on seemingly "grown up" principles. Early on, Marc encourages kids to manage their finances properly. He teaches them to avoid debt and how to spend money wisely. He tells them that it's not how much one makes, but how he spends them that makes the difference. Fundamental social principles such as character building, common courtesy, honesty, and integrity are also a major focus of the seminars.
