FINAL SEAL - NON PROFIT ORGANIZATION

I have decided, with proper thought, to establish on the digital world that the Kokonut Rootz project will be registered as a Non-Profit Organization.

I had initially thought to go as a non-profit only because I don't aim to make any money out of it. Plus, as my good friend Darin Williams would put it - "in its very essence, its a philosophy."

If I could draw it all up in one weekends thought process: Kokonut Rootz represents:
  • "Keeping the Culture."
  • Advocating the Themes of "Love" and "Respect" that is evident in all cultural identities accross the globe.
At the sametime I reach out to all island people by using the cost effective aspects of modern day media internetwork communications/social media to teach the coming generations about integral aspects of our cultural identities like traditions, relationships, games and mannerisms primarily for island nations. All this can be educated and advocated to the leaders and the people in the diasporic communities. Ultimately, the goal will be to boost the music, arts and fashion industries to provide aspiring artists a better platform online to make their trade represent an identity

Its easy for me to walk into the University of the South Pacific and pick out masterpieces that are only open to the local consumer markets. Our arts in all forms need to be broadcasted through social media.  Islanders have individual cultural identities that can be educated through social media by using our universal(corporate) stereotype as Kokonutz or just laid back people who share the Love & Respect with each other wherever in the world we may be!

The Philosophy is as simple as understanding that we need to be helping each other appreciate each other more. Its universal in the sense that all cultures (wherever you may be from in this world) are grounded in themes of Love & Respect. Love & Respect in all walks of life.

There is a bigger picture that words in a blog could not quiet draw up but one day when all is said and done, it will all come together...

For the moment enjoy a tune from the islands:- a Fiji and Samoan musical collaboration:
