A generous donor will match our first $20,000 in donations!
As
the first year of i am We Global Village closes out, we have much to
reflect on and truly be grateful for. What’s top of mind for me is the human
beings with whom we are privileged to partner, share healing spaces, experience
community, and make meaning in order to make change. Our core belief that
all people are worthy and interrelated continues to prove itself.
Many of you joined us in
the Matching Campaign for the Traveling Arts Toolkit, that youth can use in
their art forms. The heart-felt sharing and dreaming that surfaced through
this work speak to the healing power of creative expression when supported in
community. Young people and staff at the Juvenile Detention Center and Shelter Home have contributed to this work as well as our collaboration with the Middleton Youth Center. In addition, several new opportunities for programming in the Madison Metropolitan School district are in the planning stages and as well as a proposed collaboration at the MYArts space in Madison.
As we
prepare to move into 2023, we ask you to consider an end-of-year gift to i am
We Global Village to support us in
continuing this important work. We believe in the collective spirit and power of people and
what’s possible through compassion, love and unity. i am We.
In Gratitude and Community,
Rudy Bankston, Executive Director
