The Otesha Project is a youth-led organization that mobilizes and equips Canadians to create local and global change through individual and collective choices.

I’ve taken a workshop with these guys, and seen their production. It’s really quite a cool experience/program/idea. I’m thinking about applying to be a part of one of their globally aware cycling acting troupes some time in the future. Doesn’t it sound like fun? Bringing together three things I love.

The Otesha Book is a wealth of information, I encourage you to get your hands on a copy.

I saved my favourite fact for last. Otesha is a Swahili word, which is the native language of Kenya, and means “reason to dream”

Reason to dream! Can you think of a better word meaning than that? It’s pretty tricky.
