AN APPEAL.
Dear Parent,
Thank you for signing up with The Youth COSMO.
The Youth COSMO is an eco-education initiative, where we don’t teach children. Yes, we don’t believe in teaching or preaching, but helping children figure things out on their own. Believe us, they are way smarter than they look ;)
The world in which our children are born is very different from what it looked like when we were kids. It’s challenging, overwhelming and life is tough as hell. They are living in a time, where nature is in her worst shape. Are they to blame? No.
In fact, we are to blame for it.
Through The Youth COSMO, we are just trying to make an honest attempt at helping children today be better inhabitants of this planet, than we were or are. We want to empower them to look at our planet not as just a resource meant for us to thrive on. But as a lifeforce on which, the very survival of every life form depends.
The periodical is our first step in this direction, through which we want to help children visualise, relate with and befriend nature. You would say then, “why print? You must save paper if you are pro - environment.” We get it. But, everything is digital these days and the quantum of information is so huge that good quality information gets easily diluted in it.
We are promoting the printed version for a simple reason: to get children to lose themselves in it. It’s the same as reading a physical book over a digital one. The novelty of feeling the birds, animals, insects and trees come alive in the colourful pages below your fingertips is a feeling that cannot be compared with a digital version.
Saying this, we are not an investor backed, richly funded company or with some funds parked aside. But a small, bootstrapped firm where everything is funded out of our pockets. We have gone all in on this one, because we believe the cause is worth it. We have got the best experts, gone the extra mile in curating content that is not dished out on internet search results.
Your contribution towards the periodical will go into paying staff salaries, compensating guest authors, experts, marketing the periodical to reach maximum children, printing the further issues, postage and paying our bills.
We just wanted to take a moment to help you understand where we are coming from and why the periodical is priced the way it is.
We hope you and your child enjoy The Youth COSMO.
Please follow our social media handles as we will be posting about some upcoming on-ground initiatives. We want your child to get the maximum benefit from this journey.
Sincerely,
Team The Youth COSMO
