i've been gone for a while, right?
i've got a question for you...
what are you doing for christmas?
this year's been a remarkable one, i've been blessed with meeting so many new people and experiencing so much in such a short span of time... and usually when the year comes to a closing i tend to just reflect, sit back, relax and wind down until the new year, but this year is different.
last year around this time, i wanted to host a charity event, but my dreams were bigger than my tools, and i couldn't make it to the finish line.
but i don't want that to happen again.
i woke up today and decided that i was going to make it work.
there are thousands of you.
there's one of me.
i think that's enough people to make a positive change, right?
well. to sum it all up. i've done a little research, and i stumbled across a charity group based in North London. they offer care to orphans, troubled mothers, families who can't make ends meet, they're a wonderful organisation. i read on the website that they're always looking for volunteers, but since i don't know where i'll be in the next year or so and my schedule is always rammed, i can't exactly make the 2 hr a week obligation to become a fully fledged volunteer (if you can, that's great).
BUT! i also read that they're also always interested in people with special talents, artists / musicians, performers, to come and entertain the children...
as soon as i read that, i thought..... hey! maybe i can make something happen. i've got a huge network of people i've barely scratched the surface of tapping into, and i think i can make it work.
i figure, since i can't meet the obligation for the hours, maybe if i pull together something amazing, they can make an exception and still let me volunteer in the holidays and when i have time to..... so i'm thinking, let's do this together.
i want to put together a showcase, big or small, of artists / musicians / performers for christmas this year. i think it'd be a great opportunity and such a fulfilling experience for everyone involved.
if there are any of you who would be interested in performing or showcasing your talents, PLEASE contact me as soon as possible!

the plans aren't definite, i haven't gotten confirmation that this is even certainly possible, but i feel like if i come up with a solid enough offering, we can make it happen.
let's give back!
