"Grants for
Exploration"
Come to the edge; it's too
high.Come to the edge; we might fall.Come to the edge, and they
came.He pushed them, and they flew.- Guillaume Appolinaire
-
Timmissartok is a Greenlandic word that means
“to fly like a bird.” The most reliable form of transport in the dark cold
winters of northern Greenland is the dogsled. For survival in these harsh
conditions, the Greenlanders have a saying - “the hungry dog pulls
harder.”The Timmissartok Foundation was founded in 2000 to assist individuals
with adventurous projects that will take place in a foreign country. The foundation believes that one individual with
a dream can be more powerful than a string of committees. Albert Einstein showed
us that “imagination is more important than knowledge.” Ideas inspire people.
The Timmissartok Foundation wants to invest in the people with the big dreams -
“the hungry dogs” - who have a strong enough heart to make their dreams come
true. Passion is the fire that makes us do the things that are not
possible - “La passion a toujours raison.” It
is also this same passion that can reward us with the wisdom from experience.
The Romans called this experior. The Timmissartok Foundation supports
people who are not afraid to take a risk and who realize that if you stay away
from risk in your life, you are staying away from precisely those areas where
the greatest achievements are possible. Languages, even at a very basic
level, are the key to understanding different cultures. There is an Arabian
Proverb - “the hand
you cannot break, you kiss” - which means a strong enemy can be a strong friend. The
foundation is interested in projects that will allow exposure to foreign
languages because with every different language you learn, you acquire a
different soul. Saudade is an untranslatable Brazilian word - a
deep yearning, in which the ‘absence’ becomes the most profound ‘presence.’ The Africans believe, “you live by your face.”
These expressions enable you to see the world through different
eyes. The Timmissartok
Foundation will partially support projects that involve “travel with a purpose”
in which a particular passion is to be explored. Travel is one of the world’s greatest
teachers, and the German saying “Der
weg ist das ziel” is very relevant, because the journey is
more important than the destination. The foundation looks for projects which
embody the philosophy of Canadian astronaut Roberta Bondar - "The greatest adventure is still the voyage of the human
spirit.”We look forward to reading your project application.The
