Curtis "Xeno" Kornegay III Fundraise for WWF-Philippines

  • 01/04/2022 - 01/07/2022

Curtis "Xeno" Kornegay III is participating in Kabuhayan para sa mga Kababaihan: Help us secure the livelihood of our 21 Tuna fishing communities in Lagonoy Gulf and Mindoro Strait
and is fundraising for World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) Philippines

I'm making a difference by raising money for a cause close to my heart! Please support me by donating.

My Story

Curtis "Xeno" Kornegay III is a kind-of self-directed, passionate conservationist who has always believed that humanity has a responsibility to do better for wildlife, specifically firstly for wildlife's sake and right to dignity rather than as a secondary outcome of a humanitarian initiative. He has always wanted to save the orangutan's tree, ever since he saw the video of the orangutan fighting the bulldozer, an image he never fails to forget. 

Mr. Curtis wants to be a part in taking a personal role to lead and inspire other average people to spread the message that "...we don't have to leave it to billionaires to save the animals; we have the power to help them ourselves." Sometimes, Curtis asks himself, "why do I have to help, why can't Bill Gates handle this?" and I imagine that orangutan asking me "Why can't you help me?"  He believes he does not have an answer for that, so he has been working very hard to do everything that he can to make a difference. Mr. Curtis knows that he can't do it all by himself, so he is trying to create opportunities to work with different individuals and to see if we can all do this together, then we cannot fail.

Beneficiary
Curtis "Xeno" Kornegay III will be supporting a tuna fishing community (Tiwi community in Albay, Philippines). In order to support the community, WWF-Philippines has held a series of training on tuna value-adding and processing. The women in the Tiwi community have participated in hands-on workshops to learn how to process tuna meat into products such as tuna longganisa, tuna burgers, and tuna nuggets. These trainings are meant to enable women to start their own small businesses and add value to the tuna caught in the area. However, despite the training, the women have not been able to make use of their new skills because of a lack of equipment and resources to pursue these tuna processing activities.

Each starter kit will be comprised of the following items:
1. Utensils
2. Knives
3. Chopping board
4. Frying pan
5. Steamer
6. Measuring spoons & cups
7. Food processor
8. Tongs
9. Butane gas & stove
10. Grammer weighing scale
11. Mixing bowl
12. Aluminum trays
13. Colander
14. Sealer
15. Raw ingredients (e.g. vegetables, fish, seasonings)

Access to the starter kits and management of the Ice Retailing Enterprise will be handled and monitored by the respective Tuna Fishers Association in each area. #TogetherWeCan
