WITH RESPECT AND GRATITUDE, David E Watters
To all who have created a personal video for the Give ‘em Hope Campaign this year, we are eternally grateful and can’t begin to say just how much of an impact your contribution has had.
We receive messages of thanks all the time and you really have given hope and encouragement to those who have needed it most.
The videos, written stories and the daily posts in the facebook group show our members and the world that there is so much kindness and generosity of spirit in this world.
WHAT NEXT?
More videos, where individuals, couples and groups talk about their experiences are still very much needed. All stories have the power to resonate with others and can be life-changing – perhaps even life-saving.
Tell us how you have learned to live unlimited by labels – have you coped with and survived an illness, dealt with sexism, racism, disablism, ageism, homophobia or transphobia or any other area not listed here where people may experience prejudice, bullying or limiting labelling?
OUR NEXT BIG INITIATIVE
THE GIVE ‘EM HOPE INTERNATIONAL ARTS FESTIVAL 2012
TACKLING THE “ISMS” CREATIVELY

NBI Associates, in association with the Give ‘em Hope Campaign, invite individuals and groups worldwide to devise, plan, coordinate, market and promote a Pro-Equality Music and Arts FESTIVAL (Performance date: April 2012) which involves a range of performers and artists from their local area.
These simultaneous Festivals are aimed at a broad audience and should include a variety of musical styles and types of performance.
The theme is, Tackling the “isms” Creatively” so all participants should be encouraged to offer music and artistic work which comments upon sexism, racism, disablism, ageism, homophobia and transphobia or any other area not listed here where people may experience prejudice, bullying or limiting labelling.
The aim of this event is to raise awareness of local and or national charity organisations and to communicate a message of social equality and a commitment to community cohesion.
Contact David E Watters (Coordinator of the Give ‘em Hope Campaign) at DavidWatters@nbiassociates.co.uk to express an interest in organising an event in your area.

HELP TO PROMOTE THE CAMPAIGN BY SENDING OUT OUR PRESS RELEASE TO YOUR LOCAL MEDIA PRESS RELEASE – GIVE ‘EM HOPE CAMPAIGN
Director of NBI Associates, motivational speaker and writer, David E. Watters, has recently launched a youtube video campaign to inspire, encourage and uplift those who may feel disenfranchised or who may lack self-belief.
THE “Give ‘em Hope” Video Campaign IS AN INITIATIVE TO INSPIRE ALL YOUTH AND ADULTS WHO MAY DOUBT THEIR VALIDITY because ALL people, regardless of cultural heritage, physical or psychological ability, age, sexuality or gender identity, may feel self-doubt at various stages in their lives.
Watters is seeking individuals, couples and groups to share their stories, in whichever way they choose, in a bid to provide support and encouragement to anyone who may question their place in the world. These stories of living authentically, with dignity and unlimited by labels will become a powerful toolkit to help others understand how self-perception determines the path that they choose and that life need not be a self fulfilling prophecy when they improve self-concept, drive out fear and embrace new challenges as opportunities to learn and to grow.
IF YOU LIVE UNLIMITED BY LABELS… …THEN TELL US HOW IT’S DONE
