Supporting 'Footprints for Peace' towards a Nuclear free future

Today we found ourselves on an exciting little venture through the main street of Kalgoorlie amongst the 'FootPrints for Peace' protest team to help bring awareness to the disasters of Uranium Mining and help to put an end to it.

I believe it was great to let the kids get involved in something so important as this and give our support to a great, enthusiastic and passionate group of people that share a common goal towards a better future for all. 

There has been a lot of talk in our house over the last week since making our donations of fruit and raw balls about this amazing group of people and their efforts they have been accomplishing as they continue their massive walk for over 1200km across state of WA. For Starzi particularly to see these people and watch their demonstration and be involved was a real eye opener for her. We met some of the crew, old, and very young from all around the country to participate. One amazing young girl is only 9 years old and has insisted she walk the entire distance so far - totalling over 500kms. What a truly wonderful life experience for her to see such amazing country and be a part of such a powerful community of people. 

We wish them lots of support and swift feet to carry them the remainder 600km over the next 6 weeks - and most of all, we wish them the power to make a difference required to create a greener, safer and healthier future.

Bringing awareness to the main street of Kalgoorlie

  

Donations for an important cause

Currently, a team of enthusiastic, Earth loving people are taking on a massive effort by walking on foot from the outback town of Wiluna, through Kalgoorlie and eventually into Perth. This is an enormous feat to accomplish as the distance is an incredible 1130kms. The walkers will expect to take about 10 weeks to achieve this challenge. The organisation behind this walk is 'Footprints for Peace' a global community of friends with a common belief that all life is sacred sharing a common goal to protect Mother Earth.

Their current event that has found them strolling through the red dust of outback WA and through the main street of Kalgoorlie tomorrow is to bring awareness against Uranium Mining - to walk towards a nuclear free future. Their aim is to educate about the dangers, destruction and waste that threatens all life at every stage of the nuclear process. They also wish to promote positive, social and environmental solutions towards the development of renewable energy to create a sustainable future.

When I first became aware of their incredible walking effort to bring awareness to the public on this serious issue, I immediately wanted to help. So with the generosity of my husband who encouraged me to make a worthy donation, we ordered up a large amount of fresh organic fruit this week in anticipation to donate a large amount of fresh produce to the walkers. I also had some support from other members of our local organic coop to participate, handing in a portion of their weekly organic orders. Soon we gathered up 3 full boxes of organic produce.

As an extra bonus to keep the walkers energies high and to show my appreciation for their enormous effort, I made a large box of raw mixed power balls to distribute. My dear friend Renea spent the morning with me, sharing her raw ingredients and time to help me 'roll up a storm'. After a good mornings work of mixing and rolling, we had prepared quite a batch.

Raw power balls to distribute to the walkers

 We made a variety of yummy little super charged raw balls with a mix of ingredients including nuts, seeds, dried fruits, powders, flax, coconuts, dates honey and what ever else we could find in the pantry.

And here is the lovely and amazing KA - an organiser of "Footprints for Peace' accepting our donation with one of the walkers Kerryn. Both ladies were so grateful for our combined donations. And a bigger THANKYOU for your efforts to bring a safer, greener and healthier awareness to protect our Mother Earth.

Accepting the donation

It is such an amazing feeling to be able to give something so small and do something quite simple, yet make an entire team of people smile and feel supported. Giving is so much easier and fulfilling than taking. If only we all understood that.
