Dear Sponsor, I would like to express gratitude to you for taking the time to consider my proposal. I am a very passionate Visual and Performing Artist, Philanthropist, Naturalist and Healer, who has a very deep empathy for the nature and her creations. I have been actively involved in various community development outreach programs since I was 14 y-o. I fell in love with the feeling of caring and sharing with others, especially those in need, during my years of serving on the board of directors for Key Club International (the high school branch or Kiwanis International). (See the link for Biography here).
With this knowledge and inspiration, I had decided to continue to serve my community and also other communities as I travel the world using my artistic talents to repurpose waste into valuable assets and inspire the future generation to become leaders of a green tomorrow, among collaborating with other Social, Economic and Ecological interventions. (See the link for detailed Project Plan here ).
This project takes various phases from coastal clean-ups to in the classrooms and community centres (See the link for detailed children empowerment project portfolio here), from the studio to the galleries and events (See the link for detailed sustainable art project portfolio here ). This projects also unlocks the endless possibilities that lie within the business sector and will stimulate the fruition of innovative ideas to boost the economy not
only for Jamaica but for the world at large with our online virtual platform. (Click the link for Women Empowerment Project)
This digital platform is designed to make easily accessible to the journey of becoming the change that is necessary for a sustainable “Green” future and after the ‘COVID 19’ hysteria the world will never be the same again for a change is necessary for the survival of humanity and all life on this planet. From my years of research and collaboration working with the mental health department (University of the West Indies, CARIMENSA), I have learned that though Jamaica lack adequate waste disposal facilities among other infrastructure, that are crucial for preserving the environment and overall health, average human beings’ effort to care for themselves and the environment lies on their cognitive ability. For example, I have seen on many events a person walking pass the garbage bin and tossing their trash on the ground next to the bin instead of using it. This gives evidence that the world needs to constantly promote a behaviour change that will be healthy for life on this planet to flourish. (See the link here for example of content).
Tourism is Jamaica’s main source of income and from this our highest tourist visits come from the USA and the UK. Though there are great benefits of tourism to the country’s economy there are also a great negative impact on the ecology and sociology where waste disposal and cultural change occur. This platform is designed to set the balance in this area with the aim of erasing the carbon foot print of tourism by promoting “Sustainable Tourism” and the practises that governs this sector. I can only imagine what the tourism sector will be like after this pandemic. A change is crucial and one thing that I have learned from the Corona virus is that we need to make the changes now. (See the link here for example of content).
I am seeking financial help (sponsorship) in order to continue to promote a green, healthy economic, sociological and ecological lifestyle via this platform being built to provide contents that foster a healthy living and actions taken toward making a positive change.
Currently I am doing the work of at least ten persons as this is a dream that is currently in motion for over 7 years (I would like to say since I started painting as an 8 y-o child) and now it has grown so wonderfully that I now need help and would like to be able to hire immediately at least 5 persons to help to speed up the process of producing and publishing online contents. I would like to work with youth in providing interns with the ability to be a part of something great reducing the unemployment and crime rate among our young population.
Being that the world is undergoing quarantine, and I am unable to go out in the community this is the perfect time to focus on developing the virtual platform. I would like to be able to sustain myself through this period and focus on creating and publishing new contents each week. The emphasis will be placed on maintaining
healthy physical and mental health during this hysteria and will give offer sponsor title sponsorship for each content. (See the link for detailed necessities here). In a nutshell I will need US$ 3,000 / £ 2, 500 on a monthly basis for a 6 months duration which is equivalent to US$18,000 / £ 15,000. This will help me to pay all the expenses that comes with developing and publishing unique and innovating contents In return I am most happy to offer you online marketing and credits in all marketing prominently during this period, among other incentives. (See the link for detailed sponsorship form here). Here is a recap on last year’s intervention.
