Be a HERO to Jamaica's youth the OAaSIS way

WITH YOUR help the dreams of many Jamaicans will come through. You can strengthen the tools of OAaSIS International Foundation to make Jamaica advance as a nation and in the human race.
OAaSIS exists to empower, expose, educate youth through the execution of ARTful projects and also engender arts through education.
Through the Foundation, youth also learn to apply creativity in all other areas they explore from business to.. ahh well just about all areas.

So now here’s to you becoming a hero to those we OAaSIS team members serve.

The Foundation empowers youth, sensitising them through the arts. The Arts are a critical tool in development and advancement of any people. Just think what the world would be like if no one was able to read, nor write, sing, dance, draw.

Aside from placing proper focus on the arts, youth all over are shown how to discover, hone and improve their skills and talents. They learn of the many careers existing from painting, architecture, stage and theatre production to being a chef.. all creative works.

The Foundation also has an ongoing club Pickney International Creative Youth Club establishing ongoing relationships with visited areas and to enable individuals to continue discovering and improving their skills. The arts are after all vital in understanding numeracy, literacy and even the sciences.

We are asking you to consider funding or donating to any of our projects.
