We're On One!!!
Sleepless nights, it was for the teamthroats and many Magaempty bellies, dry
headaches. This is how
at That's Wassup
zine during the start-up of the project. The idea came from our
school days at Sir Arthur Lewis, where we yearned to provide an
avenue where students could express their selves through photography, music, graphic design, drama and visual arts. Upon
our graduation from the college we decided to make the idea a
reality. From doing our very first interview to launch the magazine, we knew that students participating in this project would
benefit. However like all success stories, we faced many challenges; from having difficulties getting financial assistance to
losing valuable team members. Nonetheless, we were able to
endure and now we are ‘That's Wassup Magazine’.
We have been able to get five schools to participate in the project
as well as get endorsement from the theatre arts department of
C.A.M.D.U. and Rise St.Lucia. Therefore, That's Wassup Magazine
is seen by the Ministry of Education and an established nonprofit organization in St. Lucia, as a positive and educational initiative. So what motivates us to continue you ask? The answer
is you, our readers. We are able to positively influence your lives
on a per issue basis and this is more than enough of a reason to
ensure this project continues and gets bigger. So what advice
do we have for you? Stay in school, that's where the most brilliant ideas come from. We are still going strong one year later
and hope to see many more years. My name is Hierland Peter,
your Project manager and CEO. Thank you for all your support.
