Change the world.
There are many social
issues that can be easily solved within our lifetime. The solutions
to end poverty, illiteracy and other social issues can be
realized if we can imagine the possibilities.
We also feel that
technology can play a huge part in these solutions and we think we
can help.
This section of our
website contains information on projects that we have either
initiated or are a part of.
If you have a project
that can use our marketing/advertising and technology help, please
send a detailed email to info@newagecanada.com.
Maybe something
here will inspire you.
desiFEST
www.desifest.ca
This was our
first year producing the event. The vision behind this is
to create an event that bridges the traditional values of
South Asian art, culture and music and the evolution of this
culture over the last 15 years in Canada.
We pulled in
a record 15,500 people. We were covered in all media outlets
across the city. While it was a good street festival,
desiFEST also delivered some key messages.
- We have
a lot of artist in the city without an outlet.
-
Art/Music has evolved and YET kept its roots.
- The
South Asian community is starving for these events.

Uma Foundation
www.umafoundation.org
Each year the
number of highly qualified immigrants that come to Canada is
growing. They cannot contribute immediately because we do not recognize
their education or experience and the process to get
recognized is not clear and is incredibly long. In the
meantime, Canada has a shortage of these skill sets.
Companies are in need of their services.
Uma
Foundation hopes to speed up the process and enable faster
integration of these people into the system. Working with
local and national government agencies, UMA Foundation hopes
to create a process by which new immigrants can get their
help they need to start contributing to the economy. |
