Whether you are in Jamaica or abroad, hopefully the buzz on your lips will be “I am the Change”. At least if you want to move past the past, frustrations, challenges and see the better good of ole time Jamaica renewed.
For sure, one actor has.
Winston “Bello” Bell through “I am the Change” a group originating on Facebook has begun in an energetic way. The actor, comedian and pastor has, in less than a month, influenced just over 500 membership registrations to this group to mobilise change in Jamaica and among Jamaicans.
Friday, August 28 was the first of official meeting, but at the meeting there were reports made of practical things being done by individuals. These actions are now being continued in partnership with the “I am the Change” group, hence strengthening the network of persons wanting to and moving towards a radically revolutionised Jamaica.
Among the actions already taken is the empowering of numbered Jamaicans on who they are, their potential and their role in bringing about change. Pledges have ben made by leading businessheads and groups. Jean Lowrie Chin is one business leader onboard in full swing with donations.
It is no wonder that OAaSIS International Foundation is now on board, merging with projects and avenues through which more practical things can get done to change the outlook on Jamaica and by Jamaicans. OAaSIS Foundation is committed to networking artists and artistes in using their skills to develop the creative power of Jamaica’s youth and artists everywhere. OAaSIS like the “I am the Change” began independent of any government, and to motivate Jamaicans into action and overcoming the Government-dependancy syndrome.
One project to be continued in partnership with the “I am the Change” is creating or empowering already exisiting creative departments in schools and communities.
Two main projects the group is the upcoming “Run-A-Boat” tour and rallying for civics in schools. The tour will see group members “running boats” in raw Jamaican living and one-to-one interaction within communities islandwide. A travelling kitchen already dedicated will provide meals, while members will play, discuss, motivate and make plans on executing projects for improving Jamaica and lifetyles bit-by-bit. The group will also rally for the return of the Civics course in schools as one way of empowering Jamaicans on who they are in all ways conceivable.
