The Gift of a Seed
Every Artist Needs Adventure. I am so fortunate to be living mine — the quest to possess a skill so unique that it outlives time. And that skill is not just storytelling, but telling stories that influence all of us to create new and better worlds.
That is what I will do with your gift of a seed. Plant more love and peace trees in new worlds that will surpass you and me.
Ha! I’m such a hippy. It’s dorky, but none of this would be possible without all of you.
And of course, if I didn’t directly ask you.
So here I am, asking you to join me, to support me and all these baby love projects we are growing.
What happens with every dollar you plant here?
~ 10 % of every US dollar goes to La Semilla Taganguera
​Where we host the most epic creative English classes in the world led by me, your wacky creative writing English teacher.
This program is working because it doesn’t try to replace the existing English curriculum. It enhances it by planting tiny love seeds, that empowers kids to care for their own land. In a country where no fines are given out for littering, and tourism growing fast, gentle reminders aren’t enough. These people need tools, organization, and hands-on experience.
That’s why every English class comes with a catch: students exchange free English lessons for volunteer cleanup parties, where we hit the streets, the beaches, even dive beneath the ocean to care for the reef — helping restore a broken waste management system.
And this is just the beginning. Together we’re building the first-ever recycling and sustainable art studio in the entire Caribbean - no small feat in a region drowning in plastic!
~ 10 % of every US dollar goes to Planting Good Seeds
​For approximately the next year until we are on our feet. These funds cover the essential marketing and administration expenses we’ll need to launch our fellowship program - the program that will grow into an artist retreat center and generate ongoing support for La Semilla Taganguera’s town restoration projects.
~ 2% of every US dollar goes to special students
I meet along the way - like my friends in war countries or disabled students who need extra special attention. Because in the grand scheme of things these unique stories remind us that every people are worth investing in.
~ 78% of every U.S dollar goes to my salary - supporting my little growing family.
Yes, that includes coffee and croissants (non-negotiable for creating epic greatness). It also covers the basics of living and the occasional trip home to stay connected with loved ones - because an artist and community builder runs best on full energy, a nourished spirit, and a grounded sense of belonging.
