Hello ,
I am seeking an opportunity to collaborate my useful designs, ( belts, wallets, bags, etc . ) with an HIV agency to provide a program where others would be able to assist with making products for sale, providing a safe learning space, and encouraging self worth, self esteem, and life skills.
There are other non -profits doing similar projects, doing training, and transferring skills to others so they can have a purpose, and an opportunity for a job/ career.
SO far my efforts have been unrecognized in CT.
I am in the process of purging my possessions to move to a larger gay community,
the holiday season is approaching and this would be a wonderful way to embrace , creativity and raising additional dollars for the agency/ non -profit.
I don't have the capacity to create everything, meaning a non profit / business, so if there is someone out there interested in engaging their clients with a useful activity , I would appreciate hearing from you.
I have many prototypes , including specialized dog collars, using Swarovski crystal, etc...
Life is about learning, and getting out amongst the living , which has run its course here in suburban New England.
thank you for reading and considering .... I am a long term survivor myself, hoping to give back , to feel better about life and the future
* someone commented that I should include a thread, but cant figure out how to do that , or how to attach or insert a pic. When I choose insert pic, all this format does in add ,

We do not allow marketing on the forum unless you ask for permission from POZ.com and I am almost certain that it would not be granted for this project . If you wish to discuss your project here that OK as long as you do not use the forum as a market place .

Also ... I removed your other post on the same subject as there are no need to have it as more than one topic .   

Im editing this to add ... I'm locking this thread and asking you not to use the forum for this purpose . You only have one post and that was in 2012 so I hope you stick around and get to know us better .

Yah. And his request for a phone conversation is something to not get into.

Rock on!
