Contribute Akaash Maharaj - Practical Idealism

Offering Support


In recent years, I have been competing internationally in the equestrian sport of tent pegging, at fixtures ranging from the state of Kentucky to the Sultanate of Oman. The full details of this millennia-old sport of the sword and lance are at my tent pegging page, and I kept a daily account of my performance at the 2008 International Championships in India and the 2007 International Championships in Oman at my featured blogs.

As a life-long supporter of the United Nations Children's Fund, I am profoundly honoured that I ride into the field of honour carrying both the maple leaf and the UNICEF banner, representing at once my country and the cause of the world's most vulnerable children.

If you wish to endorse my efforts in the tent pegging, I ask you to consider doing so by clicking the button below, to make a donation to UNICEF. Every penny of your donation will go directly to UNICEF to support its Unite for Children campaign against childhood AIDS. No funds whatsoever will pass to or through my team.

If you prefer to make a donation by cheque, you may contact UNICEF Canada directly.

I am grateful to all donors for their support, and will always work tirelessly to justify their generosity to UNICEF, both on and off the field of honour.
