Art Exhibits , Sightseeing,Classes! Oh the life of Wonderwoman!

Hello There My Fellow World Changers,

Today was a very eventful day. I had the pleasure of going to an art exhibit at OAS. The paintings were that of Caribbean artists primarily Haitian artists with a few from Jamaican and Cuban artists. The peices depicted a lot of Haitian superstitions and rituals which shed light on some of their beliefs today. The artwork occupied two floors and was exceptionally beautiful. There was one specific peice from a Jamican artist that depicted a regular day in a city in Jamaica. This peice was the most conspicuous because it reminded me of my home St. Lucia and the striking similarities that we share with other Caribbean countries. It was a refreshing change from the artwork that other museums and galleries display becuase I connected with the peices on a more personal level.

I also attended a class at The Foundation Center on fundraising for non-profit organizations. The moral of this story: You can run, you can hide but none of your “personal” information is never private . We learnt about all tactics that can be used to track down someone’s personal information. For $39.99 you can get whatever information you need on someone.Most people are oblivious to the fact there’s a wealth of information on the internet about them that they may not even know exists.Sometimes it is incredibly hard  to get people to donate to a certain cause because they are bombarded with requests from all these different organizations and its impossible for them to offer financial support to them all. The secret lies in your approach and your overall strategy which requires immense research. Occassionally while reviewing the names of people who have donated large sums of money to organizations you see the name of a politician or celebrity and it just brings a smile to your face because its happy to know that they’re using their celebrity to make a change.

‘ Til Next Time,

EzMa!
