IMPACT Project

As we have mentioned in class, one of the most important aspects that a person can learn about in Martial arts is the establishment of peace within themselves, their relationships, their communities.

At TKC Midwest, we value this concept so much that we incorporate it into the candidate year. Each candidate must create a project that will impact some part of their physical, social, academic, community or family environment. Each member needs to create one idea that will facilitate positive, and lasting, change in one of these areas.

For example, is there a way that you can help out someone in your community? Can you foster change in Bexley, In whitehall, in Columbus? Are their children without proper educational tools, Families without a home, Kids without Toys, animals who need assistance, parks that need cleaned, elderly folks who would enjoy being read to? The list of community, National, and World needs is virtually endless. There are ALWAYS ways to positively impart change int his world. SO, the question is, how can our 2010 candidates do it?

OBJECTIVE: Submit a one page explanation of your Impact Project. Please show what the need is, how you can help, and any assistance that you may need. There is no need too small, and no challenge too big. Stay with a cause that you are passionate about.

Once we have approved it, each candidate will have their project displayed on a poster in the DOJO for the ENTIRE Year. The poster will update Dojo families about the project and encourage everyone to take part.

DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION: August 15, 2009

Good Luck!
