There was a guy, an artist, he sat on the stairs at union square. He was wearing corduroy trousers writing in his notebook.

 

He looked special. You could tell he choose his cloths with care. Each item had something special, a specific pattern or colour, and all together it looked mesmerizing, we just wanted to speak to him. He was slightly shy but interested in what we were doing. I never forget his face, he had this beautiful feminine quality about him. He was wearing this one purple earring, just one.

 

He told us he was working on a project in a factory in collaboration with the workers there, telling us all about the process and what a great experience this was for him. He had trouble writing a funding application to support the project. Because we have experience with this we could give him free advice. #embassyofgoodwill #onehouroffreehelp
