We are entering a new phase of our development and are branching off in a new unchartered direction. Ti-chee has just had our very first meeting regarding our new Native Children's Storytelling Project. This project has been on our drawing boards for the past 6 months and is now being set in motion. Upon obtaining a clear definition of what our objectives are we now completed our first RD meeting which was to meet with a professional storyteller in order to define the content of our first initiative which is fundraising. Our first goal is to finish and submit our Kickstarter promo.
This is very exciting because this will be the first project about child abuse, sexual abuse, and family violence that will utilize storytelling in a parabolic way to raise awareness, lift the veil of indifference, and break the cycle of violence. The first phase is to develop an awareness & education tool through storytelling in both virtual media and physical mediums i.e. storytelling/song/& dance. The second phase will be the development of a prevention tool that will be incorporated with the use of the awareness/education tool for educators, victims of violence, family and social services, and law enforcement and will be proactive in dealing with the actual abusers.
We met with Doug Banner who has been a storyteller for over 30 years and who now plays a key role in the development of our project. We are very fortunate indeed to have been introduced to Doug and I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Scott Bertani the Asst. Director of Evergreen AIDS Foundation who introduced Ti-chee to Mr. Banner.
It's great to be back and working with a project that is extremely important for every child around the world.
Till next time, stay focused and be productive.
