We have 6 artworks up for auction for our Machine_67 for #MandelaDay drive, fearlessly crafted by our talented Machine_ peeps. Details of this artwork, which you can stand a chance of winning, by donating R50 or more via our Quicket raffle, are below: ‘Remnants of Youth’ by Amy Gajjar About: This mixed media digital collage captures the juxtaposition between clinging to youth and the desire to be taken seriously as an adult. Symbols of youth and nostalgia, like butterflies and flowers, adorn the eyes, signifying blindness to the uncertainties of adulthood. Circular devices overlay the piece, representing the rigidity and structure of adult life. This artwork represents the longing to be frozen in time while also yearning to experience the growth and opportunities that come with maturing. Machine_ will send the winner a hand-signed, high-quality printed piece. Do your part. Donate today: https://qkt.io/eocquf

Our Who I Am Foundation volunteers in #Albuquerque are conducting our 10TH ANNUAL Back-to-School Supply Drive to help children in need begin the school year with all of the tools they need for academic success.

Donating new school supplies to children in disadvantaged communities will make an impact on their ability to begin the school year school-ready.

During his first online buy & sell journey, he has learned 1. 3R. Reduce, Reuse & Recycle 2. How to trade and communicate 3. Maximize the earning with low and zero cost 4. Give back to society This is the best summer activities we ever had!

Scholarships are even more effective when they include an intensive set of student success services. We realized this almost 15 years ago, when many still held onto a sink or swim mentality that led to abysmal #college retention and graduation rates for #students from disadvantaged backgrounds. Education Forward Arizona and our funding partners will award almost $2.5 million in funds to 550 scholars this year. Importantly, because our partners understand the added value, each of those scholars is assigned a dedicated Success Advisor with years of experience in supporting students through their #postsecondary education journey. In many cases, the support services end up being as valuable as the funding. All of our scholars come from low-income backgrounds and are often the first in their families to enroll in education beyond high school. The data tells us that similar students without this type of funding and support will unfortunately graduate at rates below 40%. We are proud that our scholars graduate at a 73% rate. If you are familiar with #scholarship programs that have not yet offered these crucial supports and services to their #scholars, point them in our direction. Scholarship funders are always excited when they hear about the increased return on their investment in these amazing students. #firstgenerationcollegestudent #studentsupport #mentoringmatters

24 January 2024 Of Threads and Needles... Meet a set of talented and creative friends, one of a few sets, who are also my #sistersnasikawah embarking on yet another crafts project for #charity. And the cause we're championing this time? Hint: green, red, and black. And #watermelon! As usual, when it comes to pins and needles and threads and pieces of cloths, the project leader has to be Nik Ainun or fondly known as Nikky. The GoodOnes Quilting Sisters, they are called...because they started with Nikky teaching a group of the GoodOnes quilting, and they have moved on to other sewing related #projects since. To support the cause of this project, they took orders for pencil cases, boxy pouches, and tote bags. All with watermelon as the theme. For now, orders are confined to us, the GoodOnes (TKC MCE'79). Given time and resources, Nikky plans to open her classes, and the orders to other interested parties. A fun and fulfilling way to occupy oneself #postretirement, in-between running businesses and households, don't you think? Can't wait to get my boxy pouch and tote bag. I know Arlina Ariff, Wan Hailah Wan Yahya, Mastura Abdul Rahman, and Razimah Hanim Abu-Zarim will produce top notch quality work! And what about you...what do you fill your in-between time with? Whatever you do, make it worthwhile, make it matter, and make it fun! Ana #lifeworkbalance #softskillstrainer #softskillstraining #softskills
