THE STORY<\/strong><\/p>\n

.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mike Akomplice tells the story of how this project came about.<\/p>\n

.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Without rules, without time, without comforts, and solo. This was my trip to Brazil, starting from the far Northern city of Belem, wedged on the mouth of the Amazonian river. I traveled by foot, car and plane, eventually finding myself on an island in South Brazil named Florianopolis. Instantly greeted by new cool people and even a mother and father of which I now consider my own. I found myself effortlessly meeting amazing individuals and instantly joining and creating projects and ideas as a collective. Today Akomplice announces it’s first major project as a result, which I’ve dubbed Unite & Aid.”<\/p>\n

THE FACTS<\/strong><\/p>\n

.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our latest endeavor is one of transcontinental collaborative philanthropy in the form of a T-Shirt collection produced in conjunction with Brazilian company\u00a0Aesthetic<\/a>. Despite being from two different continents, our two companies are coming together and donating 100% of profits to a common cause, the\u00a0MOI Platform<\/a>. This global initiative’s objective is to raise scholarship money for the children of Empada, Guinea-Bissau, Africa to attend university.<\/p>\n

.<\/span><\/p>\n

Brazilian photographer Philippe Pessoa captured poignant photos of the children of Empada on a trip he took to the rural town, which inspired the series. We are proud to add this project to our collection of philanthropic efforts. Other projects include our\u00a0Blue Gold<\/a>,\u00a0Good Wood Aid Africa<\/a>,\u00a0Support Japan<\/a>,\u00a011th Hour Warner Brothers<\/a>, and\u00a0Fred Segal Paint Project<\/a>. This time the endeavor is based on the belief that education is the most efficient way of initiating change within communities. The hope of the collaboration is to create long-term growth and development through investment in the youth. These shirts are available worldwide, and at our Webstore.<\/p>\n
