Cause to Wonder
Cause to Wonder is a nonprofit organization that helps introduce notions of health, conservation, and human rights issues in remote areas.[1] A preliminary version of the organization called Under the Wonder was first introduced to the public on CBC Canada, Dragons' Den (Canadian TV series).
In 2010, Cause to Wonder conducted its first pilot research trip to test theories and methods in Papua New Guinea[1]. The research trip was considered a success, and Cause to Wonder filed for and was granted a 501(c)(3) organization (non-profit) status in 2011.[1]
“What Have You Got to Lose” gang prevention program was presented at 11 high schools in the Virgin Islands [2][3]. The program inspired a television commercial that aired in the Virgin Islands during the Super Bowl[4]. The public service announcement was awarded a Tilley Prize[1].
January 2012 – 2015, Cause to Wonder participated in three fundraisers for Hope for Limpopo[5], raising over $27,000 for career day school programs, education, meals, transportation, and medication for HIV-positive children at elementary schools in the Caribbean on St. Thomas and St. John [6][1]
Cause to Wonder partnered with Mozambique Manda Wilderness[7] trust to create “A Clean Lake is a Happy Life, Wonder Tour” program, which introduced water conservation to the people of Lake Malawi[8]. It commissioned a Measures and Impact Report 18 months after the Mozambique “Wonder Tour” to assess the results of the mission[8].
In February 2014, the International Brotherhood of Magicians featured Cause to Wonder on the cover of The Linking Ring magazine.[1]
