What Happens When A School for Young Women in Africa and Gabriola Arts Council Have the Same Message?

As a Christmas gift I sent Amina Mohamed executive director of the Cameras For Girls Program, a fundraiser Gabriola Arts Council T-Shirt. On the left is Amina January 26 after completion of their 3rd Cameras For Girls workshop in Tanzania. Amina also wore her Arts Council T-shirt the week before while visiting the program in Uganda, reporting that many loved her shirt and its message. And I must say the vibrant blue looked fabulous on Amina. The message on the fundraising project T-Shirt, "Easy Together, Impossible Alone" resonates well with the guiding principles of Cameras For Girls.
Camera for Girls works in countries across Africa to support young women in media gain access to paid work through their ethical storytelling photography programme. An all-important part of raising the voices of the people whose stories they tell through photography.
The second photo is Amina and myself wearing our Gabriola Arts Council T-shirts Feb 20 during a Zoom classroom session with the young women in Cameras for Girls studying in Uganda and Tanzania. The T-shirt saying, "Easy Together, Impossible Alone" was the message of my presentation as I shared my challenges and journey from academia to artist, not realized until I was 47. The young women shared their challenges and aspirations and I learned the African day to day meaning of ‘Ubuntu’, Zulu for ‘I am because we are’.
I am so honoured to be a donor of Cameras for Girls. I love that there is more than one way to contribute to this very worthy program. I am so glad I gifted a Gabriola Arts Council T-shirt to Amina and let her share its universal message. Thank you, GAC, for this inventive fundraising project. I am also a proud member of Gabriola Arts Council. It was fun to combine two very worthy non-profits with a unifying message.

“Susan, come quick, there has been an accident on centre ice?” Tracy, one of my students was eating stinging nettle shortcake with blackberry lavender icing, plated by the Nature’s Chef on the glass tray she made the day before. I saw ‘the accident’ once
I got up close. She cut into the middle of the shortcake and the blackberry icing dripped over the sides of the cake onto the centre of her glass tray, designed as a hockey rink. It was a fun moment and soon others in the class were laughing out loud too.
Ten people create their very unique glassware on the Sat and enjoy three hours of gourmet cooking on the Sunday. The chef plates delicious food on the student’s glassware. Do you love the idea of a completely unique way of unlocking your creativity and connecting with others?
No one had ever made a glass tray in the shape of a hockey rink until now. We found out that Tracy is a resource person for people working with those addicted to drugs, a sometimes very intense job. Her passion is coaching 5-7 year old girls hockey, and now we all knew Tracy better and know what a blackberry icing ‘accident at centre ice’ can look like.
The best part, besides crazy fun creativity, is getting to know everyone in the group, cheering each other on and slowing down enough to learn about each other, connect to the point that snorts of laughter can happen.
If you want to experience a one-of-a-kind adventure that you’ll remember – and talk about for years to come PM your email address and I will make sure you receive updates on future glassware/culinary events.
We are moving our home and events to Gabriola Island, one of the gulf islands off the coast of British Columbia, a well known vacation destination. https://www.susanisaacdesign.com/culinary-workshops-1

I am starting mini-feature stories about our custom-built home and forested acreage now for sale, ready for someone else to enjoy the quiet, dark stary nights and our attention to every detail because that is what artists do.https://3809otterpointroad.com/
Imagine how sweet it is to roll out of bed and hit the "gym with a view" just steps from your cozy bedroom? This gym could be how you start YOUR day!
The view does motivate us to stay on the treadmill or finish the yoga routine. . Our bamboo outside is ridiculously happy. 😍
I often thought of changing this space into a writing or reading room because of its tranquil feel.
Thank you to all of you who have been cheering us on as we prepared our property to sell and take our next steps. I appreciate all of you. Cheryl Nelson
