What happened this week?

I published many resources online for people to pick upon and disseminate. 

Our Quetzal Stories of Change event and the list of artists and organisations who will display at the event is on Quetzal Website. On Monday I will send the invitations to all and disseminate across the stratosphere. I also shared the results of our community discussion on what we can do to raise awareness in BAME communities about the trauma of childhood sexual abuse.
I had a great meeting with the team if Let's talk about sexual violence about creating a bigger impacts with their exhibition both in Leicester and Liverpool by paying to a pot of fundings and determining some key activities. Watch this space!
I had a great conversation with a funder about the questions to ask oneself when applying fundings. To give you a bit of a back story, I applied for some funding to tour the exhibition in Leicestershire. We received only part of the funding to support with our counselling activities.the main reasons were that sheer amount of applicants forcing the funders to ask themselves which activities offered by the applicants support the most vulnerable people. In our application, cousnelling was the activity supporting the most vulnerable whilst the exhibition was targeting the general public which may not be vulnerable as such. It was such a great feedback which will help me moving forward in developing better applications. 
Other things, I worked on at Quetzal is our upcoming litter picking event organised by one of our volunteer community connectors beginning of October. I am so looking forward to this. Especially as I am planning one event like it in Braunstone Frith. Let me know if you would like to be involved?

In the Leicester Fixers world, I am posting everyday on our page and engaging in conversation about Leicester Fixers development. One discussion is about how can we make Leicester Fixers more accessible to women and children? The other is if we were to write a book about repair to generate more funds -  who would be the main audience? I have to think more about that.

Other things are slowly developing in the background and I can't wait to share with you more when the time comes. We are with partners claiming more space to create change, we are taking that space and will expand. That is something to look out for!!

Looking forward to hearing how things on your side and how we can collaborate some more. All the best. Have a great weekend!

Little by Little, the bird learn to fly - Purge Update

The message of the Week Petit a Petit, L'Oiseau apprend a voler Little by Little, the bird learn to fly What went well this week? I sold 9 items. I relisted 124 items which are for grab NOW I reorganised my inventory at home so everything I am currently selling is in a wardrobe, ready to grab. I also brought together the items I am planning to photograph and sell next month. I tried to put a card in all my parcels. What are you thinking to improve? I am thinking to improve the message on the card At the moment, it is just ''Thank you for your order it is greatly appreciated''  Now I am thinking to write, ''Thank you for your order this week, it caused me to realise how much I love selling on eBay, packing the item and sending it knowing that someone somewhere is going to make use of it. As a result, I am going to post even more items in my shop. Keep on watching my evolution! Thanks again.'' For the drawing, I make little ...

Fashionably Compassionate Romantic - Fight against the elements and fracking

2pm - Leicester City Centre - Highcross - Saturday - It is a bit windy - I am wearing a hat, a coat, a scarve, a jean and some proper shoes. I am going to spend the next three hours outside, I better be warm. I am fighting against the elements and for a frack free world. I am with Friends of the Earth in front of Barclays with a stand. Our banner says 'Frack Free Leicestershire Network. Our main purpose is to raise awareness on fracking, Barclays investment in a company planning to frack beautiful Ryedale in North Yorkshire and the other plan possibly being drawn for Leicestershire. I have a clip board in my hand to get passers to sign a petition to halt fracking in the UK. I am in good spirit. They will understand. I notice that my dress code is at odd with saturday afternoon shopping spree. Most people wear a t-shirt, light jumper, jean or skirts, lipsticks and eyeshadows. The dress code has a purpose, they will be in and out of shops. They do not need to stand outside for lo...

Cash in Cash out

The analysis of my bank statement made me see how much I am taking out from the bank in cash but did not tell me exactly on what I was spending all of it in. So with my lovely spreadsheet, I have tracked over a month period, how much I was spending in cash and on what. Good News Or Bad News?  £363.59. It is approximately 25% of what I receive per month more or less.  No surprise I was not surprised with the money I spent on outings because it was all planned for and I actually spent less than expected. Food was almost the budget I planned for the month £50. Cash for my personal development was also planned for which is good... However It could have been a lot less... If only I - did not have lost my bus pass £60 BOOM - used other buses than the one I purchased my pass from because I missed the last one >> £7.1 - did not have bought too many take away, chocolate bar and pastry > £30 It would have been about 265.9 For the lost bus pass, tough I guess... but the war agai...
