Hey everyone! I've been busy drowning under schoolwork (still haven't adapted to 1st year of university ) but I'm slowly coming along with commissions.


My poli sci class has a really interested extra-credit opportunity and I was hoping some of you would be interested in helping me out!

Goal: "to help poor urban residents in Rio have a say in whether or not their neighborhoods get demolished in preparation for the 2016 Olympic Games. Right now, these communities are completely left out of the planning and decision-making process. But CommCat, a Brazilian NGO, has an innovative plan to train 200 community organizers from the slums, or “favelas,” in online networking tools (such as Twitter, Facebook and WiserEarth) to ensure that their voices are heard by local authorities. In addition, the general public can "hear" what leaders from the favelas have to say, support them, and follow their work. If this project—“Ensuring a Powerful Legacy for Rio’s Favelas”—wins this online contest from IdeaBlob, they get $10,000 and will be able to put this plan into action."

What can you do?
1) Click the above link and sign up for an account before Oct. 31, 9:00 PM PST
2) Validate your account
3) Then vote for the idea!
4) Afterwards, take a screenshot of your vote
5) Send me a note for more instructions _{(just e-mailing confirmation info to my teacher and what-not)}



What do you get from it, besides aiding a worthy cause?

I'll show my gratitude by giving you a) a free sketch or the equivalent b) $5 off a commission (to be used at any time).



Thanks and happy Halloween!!
