Although Project:A and company are on their way home, the Empty Suitcase Project (started up by Filipino American musician Passion) is something I really hope goes far beyond this initial cause.
This is a project that has been on my heart the past year. A project that’s dear to me and think it could help out the kids in Tanzania in a great way. WITH YOUR HELP!
The first part of the documentary that runs alongside this project lets Passion (Jeremy) talk about it in depth while the subsequent episodes feature various artists (Leejay, Jo Koy, Gabe Bondoc, Quest Crew, Jesse Barrera, AJ Rafael, Wes & Phil of Wong Fu Productions, and more) answering the question: “What was your opportunity when you first started?”
Despite the different genres these artists come from, they all acknowledge that what they do started because of one thing: an opportunity. And what this project can do is be that opportunity for those in real need. In total, Project:A raised over 250kg of pencils, instruments, art supplies & sports equipment towards the four projects (see earlier posts here) and $16,000 USD. Amazing job guys!
