Who We Are

Perhaps it is more appropriate to describe what we are not. We are not businessmen, or corporate executives, or managers. We are not wealthy, or established, or members of the high inner circle of society. We are not fueled by personal desire and we do not operate by some hidden agenda.

But this does not mean that we aren’t capable. We are youth, the ordinary teenagers that you see on a daily basis. We go to school, go to work, and somewhere along the line decided that there was something more; that there existed this capacity for something greater. And we draw our inspiration from this; from the everyday hero, the average person making a world of a difference.

What We Do

Our goal to is generate funds in support of clean water and sanitation projects in rural Kenya, where the struggle for water, life’s most fundamental necessity, is a commonality. We hope to accomplish this through a variety of activities, including T-shirt sales, benefit concerts and the support through presentations of socially conscious teenagers everywhere.

Our purpose is the empowerment of youth. The youth of today are the most powerful, yet least utilized generation to exist to date. Each individual possesses this awesome capacity for change that often lies stagnant, with no outlet available to channel its energy. Drop by Drop hopes to serve as the initial spark, initiating the potential of youth so that it may resonate around the world. After all, the greatest of all changes comes bit by bit, person by person, drop by drop.

Why We’re Here

A fundamental aspect of empowerment is the celebration of success. We recognize the amazing talent and skill consistently exhibited by the deviantART community. It is our honour to work with such artists, showcasing their creative expression while spreading our message of change. We are humbled by the opportunity to form such a relationship with deviantART, as we acknowledge that our achievement comes only through the support of those in the community.

G'day deviants, one and all,

We do apologize that we are incredibly behind in responding to messages, and that overall we haven't updated you all. Some of you may have noticed our website being down, others may have just forgotten after us completely after the last auction (which was a terrible SUCCESS!).

Unfortunately the team had decided in May of this year to take a step back from the project based on our schedules. Having been reinspired by a trip to Kenya, the team has come back with much enthusiasm and is ready to get started.

At this time, the team of four is focusing on three areas: speaking engagements, workshops and conferences (motivating), selling shirts (raising funds), and running a water walk. At this time we don't see much time to be able to run other projects like we were able to before (we are two men down), but that doesn't mean we don't love deviantART!

However, if there is someone who would like to step up and give us a hand on running this account, we would be more than happy to see how we can make this work. If you are one of these over-energetic deviants, please feel free to shoot me an e-mail at james [at] jamescosta.ca

Otherwise, thank you all for your amazing support throughout all our initiatives. It is my great hope that we come back to you all next year with epic amounts of win, kin, and... gin. ;)

:peace:
