Finding my voice….i.e., a "Socially-Conscious" one.
Well, after not having updated this blog for over one month, I do apologize. But, rest assured, I am back again. I’ve changed my full-time job which I’m expecting will leave me more fulfilled in my time spent making the money I need to live off of while I dabble in my hobbies and dreams part-time.
I’ve come back with a clearer focus on what I think I want my part-time endeavors to be focused on. In addition to my pursuit of hobbies such as ballroom dance and doll crafts, as you’ll see by my posts, I will also be taking on a more socially-conscious focus…with the aim to highlight inspirational people and businesses in that arena. Two of which are as follows:
(1) in searching for a cost-effective self-employment web-ecommerce solution, I came across bestcommercetools.com, which under their Template Gallery had an interesting non-profit site, see BENETECH. This company has many projects which aim to find ways to apply technology to human rights causes and developing country needs. One example is: “Bookaccess is an initiative delivering on the promise of digital books to improve access to information for poor and illiterate populations in the developing world.” This one in particular caught my attention since I remember hearing about similar governmnent- and private-sector digitizing initiatives through C-Span’s Digital Future Series.
and recently in the news….
(2) Bob Geldof is launching a Live 8 concert similar to the one he did 20 years ago this time hoping that: “By doubling aid, fully cancelling debt, and delivering trade justice for Africa, the G8 could change the future for millions of men, women and children”.
Trying to make a difference is always a good thing.
