The 21st Century Citizen. How do we Get Involved Today?

For the past ten years my partner at qmedia solutions and I have been doing a lot of pro bono work for a number of not-for-profits and charities. We've really enjoyed it but we wanted to do more. First we wanted to tell stories about some of the amazing people who had inspired us. And so we started with TV storytelling and on October 26th Get Involved had it's World Premiere on TVO-- Ontario's premiere public broadcaster. So far we have produced 25 profiles of amazing innovators, social entrepreneurs and activists. Take a look at our stories. Tell us what you think. Tell us about people or organizations that inspire you. During our research we sensed a growing movement growing all around us-- people realizing their skills and their expertise can be used not only to bring them financial rewards but deeper connection and meaning in their lives. And so our next step was to concieve of a website that would transform the inspiration of the television profiles and help propell people into action and Getinvolved.ca was born. Join the conversation...

Update from TUNAHAKI

Leora Eisen and her family returned from Tanzania with some amazing stories. And thanks to many GI members they received musical instruments and art supplies with them to Tunahaki Orphanage. Leora send this note along with some pictures to tell the story. Seeing my guitar in the hands of these kids put a huge smile on my face.



Note from Leora to everyone"
Asanta sana means "thank you very much" in Swahili...and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart on behalf of the kids at Tunahaki. They were really excited and touched by your generosity. As you can see from the photos, music is indeed a universal language. These kids absolutely love being able to express themselves through music, and can now experience the joy playing an instrument can bring. Thanks for the guitar, fabulous percussion instruments , and all your interest and compassion.
Best Leora , Rob , Jaime and Lauren
