HELPING HANDS < ONE WEEK !!

CAN YOU BELIEVE IT!? WE ARE LESS THAN ONE WEEK AWAY!
Heres the new updated flyer with the schedule!  Save the date and spread the word!

Yes yes yall, HELPING HANDS is less than a week away.  Jennie (http://drawatree.squarespace.com) and I have been working all day every day to make this event a success.  But let's break down this word, success (in Carlton Bank's voice).  Success, not in the sense of dollars and popularity for HELPING HANDS.  But success in effectively displaying acts of love through this event.  Please see past the music and art of this event and focus on the fact we will be helping people who are in need out there in the streets, communities and the world.

SO MUCH TO DO, SO LITTLE TIME

HELPING HANDS event is approaching quickly and we have much to do (sending out fliers later tonight!).  So much to do, so little time indeed.  But, what I'm referring to is the amount of work that needs to be done all around the world in our short amount of time.


As we look around, there are many tragic problems taking place in our world, our country, our community and our homes.  

• AIDS/HIV
• Human trafficking
• Poverty
• Lack of education
• Cancer & illnesses
• Suicides
• Homicides

And this is just to name a few.

One positive thing that comes from this, is it gives people the opportunity to help one another.  It's a beautiful thing when people can come together whether they are friends, families or even complete strangers in support of a common goal.  Unfortunately, often we turn our eyes and ears away from the problem in order to maintain our comfortable state of living.  I, myself am guilty of this.  We see an enormous of injustices but we try to block it out so we don't have to burden ourselves with the problem and to go on and live a "happy" life.  

If we do a little bit of research, we'll find out the numbers are staggering when it comes to fatalaties and conditions of such problems such as poverty, human trafficking, deaths from preventable diseases that are occurring all around us!

It doesn't take much to take steps forward in the fight against these injustices.  I urge you to join us in our efforts to raise awareness against these problems and join in the fight to bring a solution.

GETclothing and Photoria partnered up to hold the event, HELPING HANDS in order to help those in our community to further their careers, at the same time to contribute to a greater cause - to raise awareness and fight against extreme global poverty.  

We, GETclothing and I, personally will spend the rest of my life to help as many people as possible through this company.  I know GETclothing is still in its infant stages and have yet to come out with it's first official design, but we are committed to bring relief, joy and happiness to those people in need.  


Please join us in this movement.
Website coming soon!

It's December Already!?

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend spent with your loved ones. I can't believe it's already December. What a crazy 2009 it has been. But 2009 is not over yet and there are many exciting times still to be had! And that transitions me perfectly to introducing you to HELPING HANDS, an event hosted by GETclothing and Photoria. Only 19 days left!

GETclothing and PHOTORIA are hosting the event, HELPING HANDS, to raise awareness for extreme global poverty by showcasing the talents of local photographers, musicians, and vendors. 


HELPING HANDS will donate proceeds to support the non-profit organization, One Day’s Wages (ODW), "an international grassroots movement dedicated to ending extreme global poverty. ODW promotes awareness, invites giving, and supports sustainable relief through partnerships, especially with smaller organizations in developing regions." 


 HELPING HANDS provides an opportunity and venue for artists in the DC/MD/VA area to showcase their talents through: 

• Photography Gallery 
• Live Musical Performances 
• Special Presentations 
• Organized Studio Photo Sessions

We hope to not only lend our support on a global scale by partnering with One Day’s Wages, but also within the local community by offering opportunities to market, network and support other artists.
