Moments like these remind us why we do what we do. At Paidha Secondary School, we shared hope and encouragement, inspiring students to dream big and aim high. Together, we are building a brighter future, one donation at a time. #empowerment#education#donation#giving#philanthropy#kitabubukproject

My message for people who are skeptical about this situation: Integrity matters, you gotta do the right thing even when no one is watching. People need to know what is right and what is wrong. Don't be a sheep and run after the shiny objects. Know your moral compass and support good people. I donated yesterday (the reason why i say this because I want to show people that I am supporting them when I can, I'm not the richest man in the world, doing the best i can when i can) https://lnkd.in/e3Sk7tFa I would always support people or a team with positive intentions, positive mission statement, and positive vision and who want to help people and the community. If you are not part of the community you're not gonna know how awesome Cara community is and how much people are helping each other, respecting, encouraging, uplifting, leveling up together and so much happier because it's about human connection, engagement, one on one conversations, discussions and simply judgment-free art. Nobody feels like a content machine for them to scrape off our images or art for data without our consent. Every art created by humans no matter what style deserves respect, so does the artist. About Cara - https://cara.app/about Frequently Asked Question - https://cara.app/faq Also, this is what happened with the founder in case you are not sure (here is a recent article that was published 13 hours ago) https://lnkd.in/eQFVgW9p “For artists, we want to share our work with the world. We put it online, and we don’t charge people to view this piece of work, but it doesn’t mean that we give up our copyright, or any ownership of our work.” - Jingna Zhang Support Cara app if you care about the community, HUMAN art and human artists. https://lnkd.in/eQU7b9y8 I think social media apps have programmed all of us for LIKES, SHARES, FOLLOWS, and ALGORITHM games when it's about engagement, community, and growing together as human beings / artists. We don't wanna be addicted to notifications but be more productive with our work, share meaningful thoughts, and sharing our creation with fellow human beings. If we look back into the past into the art history, there is masterful work done by amazing masters and nobody cared about Notifications (because it didn't exist) so people were more productive not that it's a bad thing in this modern world, just stating my observation, it was all about one on one conversations, letters, collaboration, surrounding themselves with like-minded people thought leaders and making beautiful artwork. Something we can learn from art history. My intention is always to be on the right side, do the right thing and be a good person as simple as that. #supportcara #cara #artcommunity #art #artist #animation #industry #consent #credit #compensation

Wikipedia is an awesome source of information and I use it a lot. Nowadays often via some AI prompt where it is not obvious that Wikipedia is one of the information sources. But Wikipedia is nonprofit and relies on donations. That's why I never have to block ads when visiting wikipedia.org and that's why I donate every time they reach out to me to help financing servers etc. Do you like Wikipedia? Consider a donation. You can choose the amount. https://lnkd.in/dwqZfAez

Jewish New Yorkers are leading the way in #CharitableGiving to Jewish causes, according to a recent study by UJA-Federation of New York. Among households that made donations, nearly 70% contributed to Jewish organizations and initiatives, at least in part. This level of support for #JewishPhilanthropy surpasses the national trend. The 2020 Pew Study found that only 48% of Jewish adults across the United States donated to a Jewish cause within the past year. These findings highlight the commitment of New York's Jewish community to strengthening #JewishLife. Learn how a #JCF #DonorAdvisedFund can help support your #philanthropic endeavors.

In this current social and political reality, our work at LiberatED SEL is ever more important. Our education department is under attack, which has been instilling fear in educators nationally. Our Fellowship for educators provides a buffer to the nastiness many educators are experiencing—stress, burnout, a threat to their livelihoods, policing what they can and can’t teach, surveillance, and more. We center radical love, care, joy, and belonging in our fellowship to support the wellbeing and mental health of educators so that they can do the same for students. Help us to continue to be a soft landing for educators by donating today: https://lnkd.in/ez8TDNEb
