ACT 6 - Our School's Project For Empowering Women
Hello everyone,
I apologize for not having made a blog post in the past few days. I spent the start of my week (Monday to now, Wednesday) finishing recording the tracks on the album I'm producing. I only have a small amount left to do tomorrow and then I'll be 100% done. Then theres mixing and mastering; I'll be doing mixing myself, and I'll pass the mastering on to a recording engineer.
Anyways, that's besides the point. I'm here to explain what I'm doing now to help empowering women. And it just so happens that our school had an assembly today on domestic abuse. Even though it lasted 2 hours, I would have normally been bored out of my mind, this year, it radically changed my perspective. I didn't even expect it. I think it was mostly due to the fact that some people from my school came up and admitted some form of abuse they've experienced in their life. To be frank, I find that getting in front of 300+ students and admitting that they were abused as a child is pure courage. I couldn't do anything of that extend.
The point of the rally/assembly is that there's going to be a walk with the group "Hearts in Harmony", directly translated from "Coeurs en Choeur". The walk is 8 kilometers, and before walking you have to raise money (25$ Canadian) in order to be given permission to go. This is a great opportunity to empower women, because all the money goes directly to "Women's Place". For those who don't know what "Women's Place" is, it's a place where abused women and children can go to if they are trying to get away from abusive parents.
Today, I fully understood the importance of Women's Place because I fully understood the extend as to how much abuse there is, even in a developed country such as Canada.
So, what I'm doing to help empower women.
- I bought a ticket to a school dance for the same cause (Women's Place). However, I won't be going because I'm already busy tomorrow night.
- I plan on buying a T-shirt of "Hearts in Harmony", mostly as a reminder of High School on top on the revenue going to Women's Place.
- I'm also planning to attend and play music for the walk itself. I will be raising money as well. I'll probably throw in a twenty dollar bill, and ask family members to pitch in.
The walk is on the 14th of May, so past EVOKATION day. However, I can leave a follow up on one of the follow -up EVOKE websites.

Nice post. I'm not even close to being old enough to formally educate others, so I'm sticking to giving money for now. Unfortunately, through money around doesn't solve the problem. Any suggestions?
