My friends,

Jamaica currently has one ministry for information, culture, youth and sports. The Director of Culture within that ministry is a man called Sydney Bartley. He is Jamaica's representative in the CIC. I am happy to say that he has always been open to meeting with me and he is very much one of the youth's greatest allies in the Americas.

En el lunes, septiembre día 29, tuve una reunión con Thaís Pessotto, director de relaciones internacionales del Ministerio de Cultura del Brasil y tive la oportunidad de reunirse con el Ministro de Cultura de mi país, Juca de Oliveira. La reunión trató asuntos que se debatirán en una futura reunión oficial en Brasilia, la capital, com los delegados Toddy de São Paulo y Jaqueline de Recife, donde uno de los temas principales es la posibilidad de que Brasil podría ser el próximo país a sediar lo Ignites.

In last Monday, September 29 , I had a meeting with Thaís Pessotto, director of international relations of the Brazilian Ministery of Culture and at that time meet the Minister of Culture of my country, Juca de Oliveira. The meeting was to talk about an official meeting in Brasilia, our capital, with the delegates Toddy from São Paulo and Jaqueline from Recife, where one of the main topics is the possibility of Brazil could be next country to host the Ignite.

Ignite the Americas has been an amazing experience so far. I could have never imagined how real this would turn up to be, we all knew the issues, but being able to address them so deeply, and most important of all, being able to help create tangible solutions to them and having a channel of communication open with the OAS has been an incredible opportunity.

Artists around the Americas are often neglected, arts under valued and diminished to the point where we need to step up and create social change. Which is exactly what we're all here for.

Hello world, Hola mundo.
