(Entertainment-NewsWire.com, November 11, 2012 ) Toronto, Canada -- iSkin, a premium brand of fashion and technology lifestyle accessories, today announces partnering with impossible2Possible (i2P), to use adventure, a run across the Kalahari Desert, to raise awareness of the water crisis. With the help of iSkin, i2P will lead 8 youth ambassadors (aged 17-21) as they run across the Kalahari Desert that is currently parched by drought. The Kalahari Desert covers much of the country of Botswana, and parts of Namibia and South Africa.
Ray Zahab, the founder of i2P, has completed a series of expeditions to raise kids’ awareness of environmental education and to make positive changes in the world. In 2006, a 7,500 kilometer run across the Sahara Desert, which started in Senegal and finished in Egypt, took 111 days to complete by Ray. This raised awareness of the African water shortage. A 33-day trek to the South Pole, which became the fastest unsupported trek across Antarctica, actually was a sprint through the snow. This raised Antarctic ecosystem awareness.
iSkin, Ray Zahab and i2P believe in pushing beyond any mental and physical limits we place upon ourselves.
“It is so important for the young people of today to be inspired to overcome their obstacles, reach for their goals and make their dreams a reality. It’s how leaders are formed, it’s how innovations are born and it’s the only way not only our communities but our world as a whole can continue to improve for generations to come,” says Andrew Ackloo, CEO of iSkin.
iSkin’s partnership will ensure i2P is 100% free to students, schools and youth ambassadors. Together, i2P and iSkin will ensure that this continues for generations to come.
Ackloo concludes with: “i2P is truly inspirational and we are happy to be one of the many reasons for its success.”
