Giving to those who are truly in need

=ImaRawkStar:iconImaRawkStar: reports, December 23
This is the time of year of which we all get tangled up in our own troubles and do not focus on some of the real issues of the world. Well, heifer.org can help us with this, by giving animals to families who are truly in need of food, shelter and security.

By donating a small sum of money, such as ten to twenty dollars, you could provide a family with an animal such as a cow, which could produce milk for the family, for food and cooking. With the extra milk it produces, the family can go to the local market and sell the milk to gain more money, which could go towards food and shelter. Over time, the family will start to gain an income and will be able to earn an education.

With the education, they can receive a steady job and produce a stable income for the family to survive. Just by donating a small sum of money, you could not change one life, but many around them. But this is not just it, the family MUST produce offspring to give to another family, which will do the same thing as the family before. Over time, the community will grow and sooner or later, the impoverished areas will start to gain strength.


Even if you can not donate any money, please donate a few seconds or minutes by adding a favorite to this article and sending it on to other deviants around deviantart. It would be really awesome if we could get some support on this, and maybe as an art community we can pull together to help others in need! I know it can be done!

Rape is not just a crime, it is a heinous and personal invasion on the most intimate of levels. Rape destroys lives and belittles its victims. End the silence, conquer fear, and speak up. We need to raise awareness and help prevent this inhumane crime.

Philippine Artist bags gold for Olympic sculpture

=philippines:iconphilippines: reports, January 26
Pangasinense artist bags gold for Olympic sculpture

Article posted May 28, 2008 - 08:07 PM
MANILA, Philippines - A Dagupan-born artist won the grand prize for the sculpture category in the recently-concluded Olympic Sports and Art Contest of the International Olympic Committee (IOC).

Joe Datuin bested other artists from 36 countries for his masterpiece entitled “Dancing Rings."

Inspired by the 2008 Olympics emblem, "The Dancing Emblem" which looks like a man (in white) dancing and surrounded by the color red, Datuin would be receiving $30,000 or P1.2 million aside from a diploma.

The "Dancing Beijing," according to the Beijing Olympics website, "cheers for arts and for the Olympic heroes, who pass down the essence of the Olympic Spirit, which well connects sports and cultures."

Champion artist

This is not the first award from the Olympics of the Dagupan-born artist.

In 1980, Datuin’s poster outshined 6,000 participants from other countries in the Moscow Olympic Poster Design.

He also won a gold medal award in 1982 in the UNESCO International Calendar Design Competition in France.

For his accomplishments, Datuin became the first recipient of the Gawad President Manuel L. Quezon in 2003 and the Huwarang Pilipino for Arts and Culture in 2004.

As a Fine Arts student in the University of Santo Tomas, he was given the Benavides Award.

Datuin had already exhibited his artworks of environmental abstract masterpieces at the Philippine Center in New York City last 2005.

Some of his masterpieces can be viewed at the National Museum, Philippine embassies and consulates abroad, and at the GSIS Museo Ng Sining.

Meanwhile, in the graphic works category, Edmard C. Colmo's painting "Dreams for goals" was Highly Recommended and he will receive a diploma.

Both artworks will be displayed in the Olympic Museum in Lausanne, Switzerland and in Olympic Expo in Beijing, China.

The winners will receive their prizes during the VI World Forum on Sport, Education, and Culture on September 25 to 26 2008 in Busan, Korea.
