I Am Beautiful Concept...News.. Updates

Generally we tend to forget that we must deal with how we feel about ourselves before we can really change and become better. For anyone to act responsibly she/he must have a positive self concept and also the knowledge of why certain things should and should not be done. Being aware of the consequences of certain risky behaviours cannot be over emphasized. If I first understand that I am precious and worthy of respect, success and wellness then I will seek to undertake activities that generally are in line with that.

When observing the actions of the youth it is apparent that most have placed very little value on their lives. They may not be aware of how special they are. Some youth are simply pessimistic because of a lack of stimulating, consistent and empowering information that encourages them to make positive changes in their lives." The ‘I Am Beautiful Campaign’ is an innovative way to empower the youth by first helping them to realize how beautiful they are; then teaching them good health care habits that discourage risky behaviours. 

 The campaign has three components: research, educational and student participation. Before presenting at the schools a select group of students are asked to fill out a questionnaire on either one of the 3 topics; emotional health, dental care or sexually transmitted infections. Ms Supriya Venigalla a medical student from  AIMU university is volunteering her services in this area. (photo to the left) The educational component consists of school visits, radio/TV, music and internet. Please join our facebook page i.e. Wellness Innovators (St. Lucia).

For the final component students will be asked to express their beauty through poetry, story, art, music etc. Students may email us or upload their information via facebook. In the final analysis, their talent will be showcased at an exhibition. Hurricane Tomas as affected the timeline of the campaign, the team has agreed to allow the campaign to run until October 2011 or later if necessary. We plan to have the exhibition at the end of the campaign.

The team has made special appearances on TV and Radio programmes to discuss the idea of the campaign. Picture (on right) with Mr Timothy Poleon host of Newsmaker Live. This was a very special moment for our team, our families and the nation and those who tuned in.






Wellness Innovators, wish to make the campaign significant. How? With the "I Am Beautiful" audio and video production, paraphernalia, posters and infomercials. Of course this aspect requires significant funds and we are requesting financial support to reach the youth on all levels. Using all forms of media along with music would facilitate a stronger message.













The team is beyond grateful for the immense support and well wishes we have received. We would especially like to recognize Mr. Clayton Rhule of Crhule Designs for giving of his time and expertise to design logo concept and copy of the I Am Beautiful Campaign. Without this look the impact would not be felt. Mr. Rhule designs the paraphernalia pics seen here.
