JACK ORI ENDORSES THE GIVE EM HOPE CAMPAIGN - Thank you Jack Ori; youre a diamond Give ‘em Hope Campaign shortlisted for the UK’s Largest Diversity Awards The Give ‘em Hope Campaign, from the UK but operating worldwide, has been nominated for and have made the shortlist for the Community Organisation Award for Multi-Strand at The National Diversity Awards. Here one of our family shares why she thinks we should win that award. WHAT IS THE GIVE ‘EM HOPE CAMPAIGN? Stage One - The Give ‘em Hope Campaign is an inclusive and inspirational celebration of diversity; an online initiative to encourage and uplift those who feel marginalised, isolated or limited by labels. We exist to bring hope to those who need it most and do so by sharing our stories. The campaign was founded by David E Watters in early 2011 and has grown, with the support of numerous international cheerleaders and proactive participants. The Give ‘em Hope Campaign aims to eradicate limiting labels in society by acknowledging our similarities, whilst celebrating our differences. Unlike other diversity campaigns, The Give ‘em Hope Campaign is an international fully-inclusive initiative, not focussed solely on one “community”, for that in itself can be limiting and perhaps divisive. This has meant that we have a range of video and written testimonies which explore living with HIV/ AIDS, coping with “coming out” as LGBTQ, learning to understand life on the autistic spectrum, ageism, racism, surviving serious life-threatening illnesses, coping with family rejection and so many more. The website best illustrates the diverse range of contributions: nbiassociates.co.uk/Give–em-Hope-Campaign.html Further to this, we have many creative contributors who are musicians and have chosen to musically participate. Inspiring is the range of genres that effortlessly work as tools for social and political commentary; this has been important because music takes us beyond the ordinary and communicates on a level which resonates far deeper than words alone can. GIVE ‘EM HOPE CAMPAIGN – MUSIC VIDEO COMPILATION: https://youtube/watch?v=vqc9hfgPd1E Our aim, to develop a cohesive society, utilises all available online social networks and video-sharing websites to assist anyone who may feel isolated, marginalised or limited by labels, to develop a better sense of living with personal authenticity, so that they can achieve their full potential. The greatest gift that a person can give is their true self. The individual can flourish and their family, community and the wider world can benefit from the immeasurable positivity that comes with living a free and limitless life. The campaign was established in 2011, by David E Watters, a teacher and Diversity Specialist who saw an opportunity to harness the positive power of the internet and use it as a tool to speak to a worldwide audience.
