Well goodness. Thanks to the generosity of new and old patrons we rather continuously smash our goals don't we... Goals on Patreon are amazing because they are such a beautiful indication of what is possible together. Goals that I can now reach are releasing my first single, producing an EP, and going on tour. This is what the future now holds for our journey together because of you. And that is absolutely astounding to me. I'm lined up to do some big recording and shooting over the next weeks. So much excitement, and I feel more motivated and supported than ever before. Your generosity and messages of encouragement mean the world. It seems like a time to take this step with you all... One of my first Goals I reached when I started Patreon was at appropriate times to be able to make donations to worthy arts and education organizations. I'm very particular about who I donate to; I have to have worked with them personally over a long period of time and know intimately how they work. If I donate I'm very specific about what gets done with the money, so it's usually very project based. So in light of my recent work with the Ashinaga Foundation and the students (dancers and singers) I've watched grow up over the past two years, I'm going to make a special video next month for you all so you can see a little bit into their lives in Uganda, their infectious joy and talent, and a glimpse into their future. Ashinaga Uganda and I will communicate over what small and focused project would be best for us to do at this time for the students. If you all have any more organizations that you think we should donate to in the future please suggest! And if you have any questions please feel free to ask. Just as you make a huge difference in my life we can make a difference in others lives. Here we go guys :) xxMKR
