GKF - Global Kiter Foundation: who we are and our goal

Post by Joekiter » Sun May 08, 2011 8:43 am

Hello everyone

Thanks to all for your support so far, it has been a fantastic and exciting last few days.
Appologies for not getting in touch sooner, we have been busy with the website - http://www.globalkiter.com/

So let me tell you more about the Global Kiter Foundation.
The Global Kiter Foundation - aka GKF - is creating a unified kite sports environment through committed environmental work, comprehensive education and an involved community.
GKF is a non-profit Foundation, established by royal decree in Brussels, Belgium. It is the only one of its kind in the industry. We have chosen this as it provides transparency, accountability and credibility.

We are using the 100% donation model, where every cent of the public's donation is directly invested in their chosen community project.

Accountability is part of our ethos. We will publish our accounts online at the end of each fiscal year. There are also systems of public feedback in place at every level to ensure that quality and standards are kept high.

Projects supported by GKF will publish progress reports to show how funding is being used so that you see your donation in action.

Find out more about our staff, the faq, ambassadors and our latest news.

Everyone in the community and the wider public can play a role in GKF.

So let's start today, get in touch with us - http://www.globalkiter.com/foundation/get-involved

Seriously guys (and Gals) This might have some merit, I like the concept (s)....
Think about it, if it's legit this could be a REALLY GOOD THING-

Then again they are helping develop future kiters... (JK)


Believe it or not, There are people that actually CARE about others, not just themselves- Really, how much money do you simply PISS AWAY everyday on bullshit (kites, crack, prostitutes, flip-flops, Tequilla, bra's, and lipstick) ???

Example: According to my bookkeeper, I blew almost $8000 on LEGAL DRUGS (pot) alone last year- (that is just a figure of speech, actually I smoked it)
Sure would have been nice if that had been tax deductable, ](*,)

Anyway think about the good giving $20 could do- (in the RIGHT HANDS)

Sir Gregory,

If the state puts their stamp on the sale of medication, why cant it be deducted from taxes as unreimbursed medical expenses...the state endorses it.

Eventually...insurance will be paying for it if it is endorsed by governement...Yah?

The state might, but the IRS won't. Weed is still illegal per the Federal Government.

I only posted that as evidence of the LAME SHIT "we", I in that case, WASTE(D) money on in the past---------

Personally I think Pot and it's advocants are DESTROYING the FIGHTING SPIRIT of this nation- It SHOULD BE ILLEGAL for 99.999% of "us", and I SHOULD BURN that CLUB TO THE GROUND...
I wont BUT neither will I continue to WASTE MY TIME and HARD EARNED $$$$ messing with it- They have turned into another CORRUPT business operation, DISTORTING the ORIGINAL PURPOSE of Medical Pot (which is right for THE FEW who actually BENIFIT from using it)

Sorry I'm in a SHITTY MOOD today, I feel like SHOOTING SOMEONE IN THE FACE actually-

**************************************************************************************************
Back to the point: WHY NOT INVEST IN "OUR" OFFSPRINGS FUTURE??? These folks (Global Kiters) "MIGHT" be totally legit so WHY DISS THEM for ATTEMPTING TO DO SOMETHING GOOD for HUMANITY!!!
