A Sustainable Solution for Lebanon’s Plastic Waste Crisis

1. Introduction: Why CleanLeb?

Lebanon faces a severe plastic waste crisis, with pollution damaging its environment, health, and economy. CleanLeb is a pioneering initiative designed to tackle this issue by transforming plastic waste into sustainable building materials. Our approach not only reduces plastic pollution but also contributes to economic growth and innovation in the construction industry. By creating a circular economy for plastic waste, CleanLeb aims to drive sustainable development and a cleaner future for Lebanon.

2. The Problem: Lebanon’s Plastic Waste Crisis

Excessive Plastic Waste: Lebanon generates thousands of tons of plastic waste annually, with little to no recycling infrastructure.

Environmental Damage: Plastic pollution harms soil, water, and marine life, affecting biodiversity and agricultural productivity.

Health Hazards: Microplastics and toxic waste seep into food and water sources, causing long-term health risks such as respiratory diseases and cancer.

Economic Loss: Inefficient waste management leads to high government spending on waste removal, while missed opportunities in recycling and sustainable industries limit economic growth.

Meaning Making

How do you find meaning in life? 

Live spontaneously. Pay attention to the world around you. Be true to who you are. Finally, put your whole self into the right, or correct, things.

Now you know, and you can skip the rest of this post.

For those that remain, let’s look a bit deeper. Everyone thinks about meaning at some point. Think of all the names we have for it: Reason for Being, Life's Purpose, God’s Gift, and dozens more. It has been argued that one of the major reasons for religion is to answer this question. It doesn’t have to be that hard though. All you need is:

Spontaneity

Attentiveness

Authenticity

Absorption in right action

Spontaneity

“Spontaneous: proceeding from natural feeling”  - Merriam Webster

Do what seems right. Without thought. In most cases you already know what’s right and thinking about it just confuses the issue. Getting in the way. So, live your life in the moment. When you get out of your head, and act rightly, you have space to truly experience life and the world around you.

Attentiveness

“Attentive: mindful, observant” - Merriam Webster

Spontaneity opens up space in your life to look around. Notice the ways of the world. The rippling waves of grass in a field. Squirrels fighting over territory. The subtle shift in body language, when your partner realizes you forgot their birthday (good luck with that one). 

Paying attention like this builds a sense of wonder and awe in the things of life. From quantum mechanics and black hole mergers to that special freckle pattern on your lover’s butt. The world is wondrous and full of wisdom. Though freely available to all of us, you can only access it by stopping, taking a breath, and paying attention.

Authenticity

“Authentic: true to one's own personality, spirit, or character” - Merriam Webster

Now that you have looked around, look inward. This is extremely important because “right” is actually short for “right for you”. So, who are you?  “Easy”, I hear you say, “I’m Jim. I’m a Christian. I’m a dad. I’m a truck driver. I’m a…” Not so fast. Jim is a name, Christian a religion, dad a responsibility, truck driving a job. That is how you are taught to think of yourself, but none of that is you. What you are is what you were the moment you were born and will remain till the moment you are dead. 

Fortunately, I cannot tell you who you are. Only you can truly know that. What I can say is that you are awesome. You are wonderful. You are good.  And if your society, your family, your partner, or even you think otherwise. Fuck ‘em. No one is born wrong, broken, fallen, cursed, or evil. You are exactly what you are supposed to be. If others have a problem with that. It’s their problem. Not yours.

Absorption in right action

“Absorption: entire occupation of the mind” - Merriam Webster

Whether carving meat, programming a security system, or pruning a rose bush, total absorption in the right activity, also known as a “flow state”, requires spontaneity, attentiveness, and authenticity. When you lose yourself in a task, you, your tools, and your medium become one entity and together miraculous things happen. Being fully absorbed in an activity is how you literally make meaning in life. 

Let’s put it together

You wake up and decide to go for a walk (spontaneity). As you walk, you notice the colors of the flowers and the feel of the breeze on your skin (attentiveness). You see a group of people playing frisbee in the park and feel like joining in. Instead of worrying about what others might think, you ask to play (authenticity). As you play, you get so caught up in the game that you forget about everything else (absorption). At the end of the day, you might find that you feel happy and fulfilled. You weren't searching for meaning - you were just living in a way that felt right and true to you. And in doing so, you found meaning without even trying.

Meaning is not a thing handed down from on high. It is made, daily, by being attentive to the world and giving yourself up to the spontaneous actions that are right for you. 

[am-i-interrupting]

is reader like future tech like vox (not like obsessed with but admires it) or are they like alastor and doesn't really want any part of it. is that why they opened a theater (i'm assuming for musicals but would they have one for movies too?)?

It is a more traditional theater. I think aside from writing that would be their medium of choice (not because that’s mine too, shut up). I don’t really think they’d be swayed either way. I think they would have like a phone. They could be roped into watching television but aside from that I don’t see them being too big in it. Their main program they watch are programs that specifically feature Vox.

When Velvette arrives in Hell and brings social media, I can see them getting an account and mostly using it for connections and just keeping up to date with specific people. The only time they’d post is for promotional content or reminders to souls that live in their territory when their next availability is for helping with local issues or to apologize for cancelling it on the rare instance they have to. The only people they’d follow are probably the main cast eventually, the Vs, Rosie, Mimzy, business partners and the deadly sins.

The main social media use outside of that I see them having is Velvette roping them into letting her film their curly hair journey because Velvette is absolutely scandalized that they’ve been straightening their hair for so long.

So, yeah, not obsessed but not opposed. Sees the benefits but doesn’t really engage beyond that.

Journal #8 - Rango, Ethics and Animation (Sean Cubitt)

“Rango, Ethics and Animation” is a paper about exactly that. Posing the question of where animation stands within morality and ethics, and how we might go about gaining an understanding about it through the study of the movie Rango. While this paper does largely concern itself with the ideas of 3D animation, vectors, bitmapping, etc… I do still believe its insight is welcome in all aspects of animation, if for nothing else than an interesting alternative look into the medium. Before I go any further, there are certainly aspects of this paper that might be reading overall too far into the ideas of autonomy in animation, but nevertheless I think it is as the paper itself states - an interesting and worthwhile avenue of discussion, not necessarily to solve the question posed but to simply pose it with enough information as to create discussion. Cubitt starts off by stating that it will for the sake of its argument, include anecdotal evidence to support its exploration. The reason it states for this is that “Ethics concerns not the general but the specific” and “If ethics is a matter of confrontation with demand… It stands between the partners in the encounter, rather than joining them.” All in all, it makes itself clear that the inspection of Rango is again only the start of the conversation, not the key to the end of it. The idea of anecdote is integral to the paper, as inspection of a single work if essentially reading the account of anecdote. The film is an anecdote, the convergent stories within are anecdotes and - most importantly to this paper because it is a main feature of the film - Rango himself is in essence an anecdote. His story is deeply intertwined with the nature of storytelling, beginning the film as barely anything more than a slate for storytelling even within his own terrarium enclosed world. 

This idea of an anecdotal character then translates into the idea of ownership and autonomy. Simply put, who is Rango? Is he the designer or writer who created his character? Is he the modeler or animator who gave him life and movement? Is he the person who voiced him and acted out his lines for later reference? (Side note here but Cubitt does include a very funny quote from filmmaker Jean Renoir demolishing the “sub or dub” debate by suggesting that putting any voice over a film is comparable to heresy) And if the methods of 3D animation allow for characters to be animated in the sense of programs and set, repeatable cycles, is could there be an argument for the autonomy of Rango to be his own, separate from human hands? It is suggested then in the face of this dilemma, that he can be viewed as an animated artifact inhabited by multiple, disparate sources. Additionally and predictably, in the conversation of autonomy in today's age, we come eventually to the idea of corporate property, and the ethics within that as well. If Rango possesses in short the souls of all the previously described sources, what does it mean for him to be legally owned by a company who is free to do with him as they see fit, and even more so how does this relate to both his status as in some sense a celebrity and human celebrities who sign rights over to studios and corporations. Just because Rango is unable to sign papers in the real world does not mean there would be no complaints or repercussions from the sentient parts of his being or the dissonance of his character, should he appear tomorrow in a toothpaste commercial.

The real importance of talking about Rango specifically in this paper is the ways in which the movie talks about acts of performance, narrative and control within a story. Firstly, with performance, we come to the issue of viewership and what that means in context. Essentially all parts of the film are an act intended to be viewed. Even within the sense of turning vectors into flat bitmaps, feeding everything through a codec, in the same way that live film is captured and becomes flat images, so too does the final result of animation become only the memory of the original. This allows for an odd dissonance where as an audience we can view loneliness despite being in a theater full of people. The concept of suspending disbelief for the sake of story exists, but in the context of a character who does not know they are acting in a story viewed by millions, that suspension can lead us to different concepts than we would be usually accustomed to. Secondly, in the narrative we have the idea of a story written about a story. Rango is through and through an actor within the narrative. Even in the finale, where he accepts his role as sheriff, his role can still be read as playing a part, regardless of how fully he believes in it. Rango is, as Cubitt describes him, “...not just a specific performance of an object, but a representation of that performance.” Rango the character directly represents the performance he is unknowingly playing. Finally, the idea of control within the story. For this area Cubitt pulls back even farther, no longer examining only the character of Rango but of Beans as well as the animations of water present within the film. Beans functions as Rango’s antihero in many ways. Where Rango is trapped under layers of outside forces and metatextual ideas but still throughout it all retains an aspect of autonomy (if anything present in the visuals of the movie can be considered to truly have autonomy), Beans explicitly has that ability revoked, becoming catatonic at a moment’s notice. Even further, within that state her autonomy is moreso revoked by the ways in which Rango continues to come on to her. The narrative has for all intents and purposes abandoned her, left to the whims of morally questionable characters until, as the paper argues, she forces her will back on the story and regains consciousness, moving back from inanimate, objective fetish to character with control. Interestingly however, Cubitt also considers this idea in reverse, that the act of inanimation is - on a grander scale - an act of rebellion by a character so controlled by the narrative. The choice to refuse animation in an animated film, and then to choose her own time to reemerge from that is, in a way, a decrying of the external forces that move her along in her own story. In the complete reverse to this is the idea of water within the film. Water is explicitly uncontrollable, and to all best efforts is still never truly controlled even in the case of Rango, where it is all computer generated. In a completely different act of rebellion, but rebellion nevertheless, water demands everything of its creators and holds nothing back, if they want to have an end result that at all resembles the real thing.

Overall this paper presents a very interesting way of viewing animation. While there was no particular reason as to why I picked this paper over any other besides my preexistent fascination with Rango, I am very glad I did. As stated by Cubitt, there are the beginnings to a very interesting conversation within, certainly it is something I will consider moving forwards. To say I was surprised by this paper would be an understatement. Cubitt clearly has a very well articulated and thought out stance on this question and he is able to explain it in an incredibly interesting and compelling way. There are many points within this paper that have certainly crossed my mind before and will undoubtedly come up even more now that I have read this. As such I do believe this is a good read for anyone interested in the idea of ethics in animation, if only for the thought of hearing more people’s opinions on it. I think this concept is very applicable to many aspects of animation, the places to do so becoming even more common at the introduction of video games into the conversation. A medium within animation that features not only control from the craters but from the creators but from the viewer themself is practically begging for this conversation (and in many ways has already had it, but it is a fascinating subset of this conversation nonetheless that should continue to be developed). Overall I believe this paper was a worthwhile read and the very well spoken beginnings of a conversation I hope to have more of in the future.

The Rise of AI Agents: What’s Coming After Chatbots

As businesses across the USA race to modernize operations, the limitations of traditional chatbots are becoming clear. While chatbots transformed digital interaction, the next frontier is already here. Enter AI Agents—autonomous, intelligent systems that don’t just reply—they act. And if you're a forward-thinking business in Chicago or anywhere in the U.S., it's time to pay attention.

From Reactive to Proactive: The Evolution

Chatbots are reactive. They respond when prompted.

AI Agents, on the other hand, are proactive. They analyze, decide, and initiate action—performing tasks without waiting for human input. It's the difference between having a basic assistant and a digital operations manager.

AI Agents are autonomous software programs powered by large language models (LLMs), automation tools, and machine learning. Unlike traditional bots, they:

Understand complex tasks (e.g., “Create a report, notify the team, and update the dashboard”)

Pull and process data from CRMs, ERPs, and cloud platforms

Make decisions based on real-time analysis

Learn from outcomes and optimize over time

At Avion Technology, a Chicago-based tech firm serving clients across the USA, we’re integrating AI agents into real-world enterprise solutions—from Oracle Fusion Cloud to Salesforce, ServiceNow, and beyond.

SR&ED Consulting Services for Brampton Businesses

Brampton is home to a thriving network of innovative companies—from advanced manufacturing and technology firms to food processing and healthcare solutions. As these organizations push the boundaries of innovation, they often qualify for Canada’s most significant tax incentive program for R&D. That’s where SR&ED Consulting in Brampton becomes essential, especially for companies aiming to access these benefits while focusing on their core operations.

While many businesses are already investing in research and development, a surprising number overlook the opportunity to claim valuable tax credits. This gap is often due to uncertainty around what qualifies or how to prepare a successful submission. Engaging an experienced consultant can change that entirely.

What Is the SR&ED Program?

The Scientific Research and Experimental Development (SR&ED) program, administered by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), is designed to encourage businesses of all sizes to engage in R&D by offering tax credits and deductions. It supports projects that aim to create new or improved products, processes, or technologies through systematic investigation and experimentation.

Qualifying activities may include:

Designing and testing prototypes

Addressing technical challenges through trials

Improving software, equipment, or processes

Developing new formulations or engineering methods

Companies often qualify even when their R&D projects don’t lead to commercial success, as the program rewards the pursuit of innovation—not just the outcome.

The Role of an SR&ED Consultant

An SR&ED consultant brings both technical and financial expertise to the table, helping you prepare a solid claim that meets CRA guidelines. They act as an extension of your team, working alongside engineers, developers, accountants, and business leaders to identify eligible activities and costs.

Typical responsibilities of a consultant include:

Identifying eligible R&D activities

Collecting technical documentation such as test results or design changes

Preparing technical narratives required by CRA

Calculating eligible expenditures across wages, materials, and subcontractors

Advising on risk mitigation for audits or reviews

Consultants often work on a contingency basis, meaning they only get paid when your claim is successful.

Why Brampton Businesses Should Consider SR&ED Consulting?

With its proximity to Toronto and a diverse business ecosystem, Brampton offers an ideal environment for R&D-focused companies. However, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) often lack the internal resources to manage complex SR&ED filings on their own.

Here’s why hiring a local consultant can make a difference:

Local industry familiarity – Brampton consultants understand common technical challenges in your field.

Face-to-face collaboration – In-person meetings streamline the data collection and documentation process.

Understanding of regional innovation trends – Consultants can align your R&D strategy with local market developments.

Improved efficiency – Consultants save time by guiding your team through the claim process step by step.

What Expenses Can Be Claimed?

Working with a consultant ensures that you claim all eligible expenses while staying compliant with CRA standards. This includes:

Wages for employees directly involved in R&D

Materials consumed or transformed in experiments

Contractor fees for external development partners

Overhead costs associated with R&D space or equipment

Prototype development costs, where applicable

Keeping clear records and time tracking logs is key to building a successful claim.

Common Challenges in Filing SR&ED Claims

Businesses attempting to file SR&ED claims without expert support often run into avoidable issues. Misinterpretation of the guidelines or incomplete documentation can lead to audits, delays, or outright rejections.

Some frequent mistakes include:

Overstating or understating eligible work

Failing to document technical uncertainty

Inaccurate allocation of wages and materials

Submitting vague or incomplete technical descriptions

Missing CRA filing deadlines

A consultant can help avoid these pitfalls by ensuring every part of the claim is properly supported and submitted on time.

How to Choose the Right Consultant

Not all consultants offer the same level of service or expertise. Choosing the right partner is essential for maximizing your return and avoiding compliance issues.

Here’s what to look for:

Experience in your industry – Do they understand your technical environment?

Strong CRA track record – Have they successfully defended claims during audits?

Transparent pricing – Flat fees or contingency-based models are preferred.

Collaborative approach – Will they work closely with your internal teams?

References and testimonials – Past clients can confirm their reliability.

It's important to find a consultant who not only prepares your claim but also empowers your team with knowledge for future filings.

Integrating SR&ED Into Your Business Strategy

For businesses in Brampton, integrating SR&ED into long-term planning is a strategic move. It’s not just about recouping costs—it’s about building a sustainable innovation pipeline. By using SR&ED refunds to reinvest in R&D, companies can fund new prototypes, expand technical teams, and explore emerging technologies.

Some ways businesses use their SR&ED credits include:

Hiring new developers or engineers

Purchasing lab or testing equipment

Enhancing digital infrastructure

Expanding into new markets through product development

Improving process automation and efficiency

By making SR&ED a regular part of the budgeting cycle, companies can reduce risk and sustain their competitive edge.

ERP Implementation Challenges in Oman – And How to Overcome Them

In today’s competitive business environment, companies in Oman are increasingly adopting ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) systems to streamline operations, enhance productivity, and gain deeper insights into their performance. However, implementing an ERP system is no small feat. Many Omani businesses face unique challenges during deployment due to local market dynamics, organizational culture, and technological readiness.

Let’s explore the common ERP implementation challenges in Oman—and more importantly, how businesses can successfully overcome them.

1. Resistance to Change

The Challenge: One of the biggest roadblocks to ERP implementation is internal resistance. Employees may be hesitant to abandon familiar processes, especially in family-run or traditionally managed companies.

The Solution: Invest in change management and continuous communication. Engage stakeholders early, explain the long-term benefits of the ERP system, and provide hands-on training to ensure everyone feels confident and included.

2. Lack of Localized ERP Solutions

The Challenge: Many ERP systems are designed for global markets and may not account for local regulations, tax structures (like VAT in Oman), or Arabic language support.

The Solution: Choose an ERP provider with local experience and the ability to customize the system for Omani compliance. Look for vendors offering Arabic language support and integration with the Tax Authority's e-invoicing requirements.

3. Budget Constraints

The Challenge: Small and medium-sized businesses in Oman often struggle with the upfront costs of ERP systems, including licenses, infrastructure, and consulting fees.

The Solution: Opt for cloud-based ERP solutions with a subscription model. This reduces capital expenditure and offers flexibility to scale as your business grows. Also, compare ROI projections to justify the initial investment.

4. Limited IT Expertise

The Challenge: Many companies in Oman, particularly outside Muscat, face a shortage of skilled IT professionals who can manage and maintain complex ERP systems.

The Solution: Partner with ERP vendors that offer ongoing technical support and local implementation teams. Additionally, invest in staff upskilling programs to build internal capabilities over time.

5. Inadequate Planning and Scoping

The Challenge: Poor planning leads to scope creep, missed deadlines, and misalignment between the ERP system and business processes.

The Solution: Conduct a detailed business process analysis before implementation. Set realistic timelines, define key deliverables, and involve key departments to ensure alignment between the ERP system and your operational goals.

6. Data Migration and Integration Issues

The Challenge: Migrating data from legacy systems to a new ERP platform can be messy—especially when dealing with inconsistent formats or incomplete records.

The Solution: Engage ERP consultants to audit and clean existing data. Test data migration thoroughly and ensure proper integration with existing tools like accounting software, HR systems, or inventory platforms.

7. Cultural and Communication Barriers

The Challenge: In diverse business environments with multilingual teams, miscommunication during ERP implementation can lead to misunderstandings and delays.

The Solution: Ensure documentation is available in both English and Arabic, and appoint bilingual project managers or liaisons who can bridge cultural gaps and ensure smooth communication.

Final Thoughts

ERP implementation in Oman comes with its own set of challenges—but with the right planning, localized solutions, and stakeholder engagement, these challenges can be turned into opportunities. Whether you’re a large enterprise or a growing SME, investing in a tailored ERP System Oman is a strategic move that can help you achieve long-term efficiency and growth in Oman’s evolving market.

SBLC Monetization: Unlocking the Hidden Value of Financial Instruments with The Hanson Group of Companies

In the world of global finance, liquidity is power—and traditional asset-backed funding methods can often fall short when quick access to capital is required. This is where SBLC monetization steps in as a game-changer. By converting financial instruments such as standby letters of credit (SBLC) into immediate cash or credit lines, businesses can gain the financial leverage they need to execute large-scale projects or bridge critical funding gaps.

What is SBLC Monetization?

SBLC monetization refers to the process of converting a Standby Letter of Credit (SBLC)—a financial guarantee issued by a bank on behalf of a client—into cash or liquid capital. An SBLC is not typically intended for direct use as payment, but rather as a form of guarantee or assurance. However, through monetization, it becomes a powerful tool for raising capital.

This process is especially beneficial when paired with high-value instruments such as leased SBLCs, which are often obtained from reputable financial institutions for a fixed term. While leased SBLCs cannot be used as payment, they can be monetized when facilitated through a trusted financial intermediary like The Hanson Group of Companies.

Why Monetize an SBLC?

There are numerous reasons why businesses choose to pursue standby letter of credit monetization:

Liquidity: Immediate access to funds without selling assets or diluting equity.

Speed: Faster than traditional lending processes.

Flexibility: Funds can be used for project financing, trade, investments, or to meet other working capital needs.

Non-Recourse or Limited Recourse Options: Minimizes personal or corporate liability depending on the agreement.

Whether you’re looking to launch a major infrastructure project or expand your business operations globally, SBLC monetization offers the freedom and flexibility to act swiftly.

The Hanson Group of Companies: Your Trusted Monetization Partner

With a strong reputation in international finance, The Hanson Group of Companies has helped clients across various sectors successfully monetize SBLCs and other financial instruments. Their streamlined, client-centric approach ensures transparency, compliance, and maximized returns for every transaction.

Here’s what sets The Hanson Group apart in the world of standby letters of credit monetization:

1. Expertise in Complex Financial Instruments

The monetization of high-value instruments such as SBLC letters of credit, Medium Term Notes (MTNs), and Bank Guarantees (BGs) requires in-depth understanding and meticulous planning. The Hanson Group’s team of financial specialists brings decades of experience to the table, ensuring that every monetization process meets both the legal and financial requirements for successful execution.

2. Access to Global Bank Networks

To effectively monetize an SBLC, a robust international banking network is essential. The Hanson Group leverages strong relationships with leading banks and financial institutions to facilitate seamless transactions. This global reach ensures competitive rates, faster processing times, and greater reliability.

3. Tailored Monetization Programs

Each client has unique needs and goals, which is why The Hanson Group offers personalized monetization solutions. Whether you’re looking to finance a real estate venture or fund an import/export operation, they work closely with you to structure the ideal program using your sblc letter of credit, leased SBLC, or bank guarantee.

The SBLC Monetization Process

While SBLC monetization may sound complex, The Hanson Group simplifies the process into clear, manageable steps:

Instrument Issuance: The client arranges for a leased SBLC to be issued from a top-rated bank (usually rated AA or higher).

Instrument Delivery: The SBLC is delivered to The Hanson Group’s monetization partner via authenticated SWIFT MT760 message.

Due Diligence: Compliance checks are performed to verify the authenticity of the instrument.

Agreement Finalization: Once verified, a monetization agreement is signed, detailing the payout structure, duration, and any applicable fees.

Fund Disbursement: The client receives the agreed-upon cash value—often up to 85% of the face value—typically within days of delivery confirmation.

Leased SBLC Monetization: A Viable Alternative

For clients who do not own SBLCs, leased SBLC monetization offers a compelling solution. This involves renting an SBLC from a third-party provider and then monetizing it through The Hanson Group’s network.

Leased SBLCs are often more accessible than purchased instruments, providing a low-risk path to obtaining capital. It’s an ideal option for entrepreneurs, investors, and businesses needing to mobilize funds quickly without tying up existing assets.

Related Instruments: MTNs and Bank Guarantee Discount

Beyond SBLC monetization, The Hanson Group also specializes in:

Medium Term Note (MTN) Monetization: MTNs are debt instruments issued by banks or corporations. Like SBLCs, they can be monetized to generate cash flow.

Bank Guarantee Discount: Instead of waiting for a BG to mature, clients can receive immediate funds through a discounted transaction.

These services provide even more ways for businesses to harness the power of financial instruments and turn dormant capital into usable funds.

Compliance and Security First

The Hanson Group understands the importance of secure and compliant transactions. They ensure every SBLC letter of credit or bank guarantee is handled in accordance with international banking standards and anti-money laundering (AML) protocols. Clients can rest easy knowing their financial assets are in capable and ethical hands.

Final Thoughts: Why Choose The Hanson Group for SBLC Monetization?

In an era where agility and access to capital define success, SBLC monetization presents a strategic advantage for forward-thinking businesses. By partnering with The Hanson Group of Companies, clients gain not only the capital they need but also a trusted advisor committed to their financial growth. With deep expertise in standby letter of credit monetization, medium term note (mtn) handling, and bank guarantee discount solutions, The Hanson Group is your gateway to global funding opportunities.

Dear Community AAPI Programming

Dear Community is a San Francisco-based philanthropic organization that was formed in response to anti-Asian hate violence trends in the United States. Established during the COVID-19 pandemic, it envisions supporting community leaders through people-focused initiatives, activism, and open dialogues and facilitating income for local merchants who have been impacted by hate and violence.

The Chinatown Fridays program, a highlight of Dear Community's flagship series, supports small businesses in Chinatown with weekly gatherings featuring food, drinks, and social networking. This program grew from informal meetings of Chinatown safety patrols and represents the organization's commitment to sustainable, long-term change. During these initial meetings, Dear Community members realized that community safety patrols did not present a long-term solution for the issues impacting the local Asian-American community. ​ H(API) Hour, another key initiative at Dear Community, was developed by a group of eight citizens, including San Francisco City Attorney David Chiu. The program has been integrated into the Dear Community mission, as well as the national #StopAsianHate movement, with an emphasis on highlighting the efforts of young Asian activists. H(API) Hour events take place at various Asian-owned businesses within San Francisco city limits. In addition to generating revenue for Asian-owned businesses, H(API) Hour events provide patrons with insight into becoming more impactful and engaged community leaders.

Individuals can further support local restaurants through the "What's for Lunch?" program, which consists of stories and food samples from local Asian-American and Pacific Islander-owned restaurants.​ The Chinatown Supper Together and Sunset Supper Together initiatives are part of the Supper Together Series, a partnership between Dear Community and TogetherSF. The program involves an extensive tour of lesser-known Chinatown businesses, particularly those of historical or creative importance.

The Positive CreAsians mental health program consists of a series of "safe space" events developed in direct response to violence directed at the Asian-American community during the pandemic. These events and locations underscore the need for increased mental wellness programming within the community. The majority of Positive CreAsians events connect participants with artists working in different mediums. Artists share their works and discuss the relationship between creative expression and mental health during a Q&A panel hosted and sponsored by Kaiser Permanente.

The eponymous Dear Community program occurs four times a year. Every three months, the organization collaborates with local businesses and organizes charitable donations to the communities most in need. Several local corporations, including Salesforce, have made donations through the program. Interested volunteers and partners can learn more about supporting the program by messaging hello@dearcommunity.org.

In the past, the organization has worked to expand programming through initiatives such as Dear Japantown, a curated merchant tour designed to raise awareness and funds for Japantown businesses. In addition to these programs, the organization has partnered and collaborated with several like-minded community groups, such as Mahjong Movement, Stand With Asian Americans, the Delta Chinatown Initiative, and Refuse Refuse, as well as local businesses like Coffee Meets Bagel and Red's Place, to name only a few partners.

Dear Community is always interested in expanding services and programming. To suggest or collaborate with Dear Community on a program, please visit dearcommunity.org.
