More artistes are registering their intent to make contributions to the OAaSIS International Foundation in its production of a fundraiser music video. Alton Ellis Jnr, on Monday, July 26 confirmed his commitment.
Both educational and entertaining, the video titled “Unleash The Power Within” for now will be significant in representing the skills of Jamaicans, as well as offering inspiration to many.
The music video, to be produced by Robin Chin, owner of Enhanced Realism Studios, will unite the voices of artists in both proclaiming what the Foundation is about, as well as invite sponsors.
According to its founder, Anthea McGibbon, the list of areas seeking the input of the Foundation is growing along with the supplies list and incurerd expenses.
The presenting group is more tightly knitted with some committed to all venues, but the programme is not without its share of expenses such as materials. The current project is a creative workshop series which is only the first phase of the foundation which seeks to empower creative minds.
The impact has been tremendous and all areas visited are scheduled for follow up visits, to ensure the youth makes tangible progress beyond being sensitised to arts, culture and creativity as a combined tool to development.
Other projects slated are special arts online careers library, book publishing and where they can be innovative in earning their own income as indiviuals and a community. By year end the Foundation hopes to open a library in St Catherine where children have to walk miles to school and to seek jobs.
Funds, and more funds are therefore needed for the not-for-profit entity.
The OAaSIS Foundation is in the process of making a music video series for raising needed funding for our projects. The music video is a selected method, as the foundation is all about bridging gaps between professional and successful artistes and the youth, impressing upon them also real talent that exist here. At the same time, business heads are also to be sensitised on our creative talent and what OAaSIS is all about.
