Giving Back

I wish I had more to give... but that will change!

Today I decided I will donate 25% of my Interactive Arts profits to an African charity called Music for Africa. Here's a link to their website.

I've never been a musician myself. I tried playing the piano, guitar and trumpet till I realized that I'm much better at listening to music than playing it. Living in Austin, the live music capital of the world, has helped me develop my appreciation for music though. And recently my dad created his first album, which he is hugely passionate about, so that has kind of sparked my interest in helping those who pursue such a beautiful art. Since I lived in Africa for 8 years as a child, I really wanted to find a charity that helps African children find music and share it with their communities.

Starting January 1st of 2010, I'll be donating 25% of all my Rengler Studio subsidiary, Interactive Arts, profits to the charity listed above. Hopefully if the Interactive Arts side of Rengler Studios is successful enough, I can donate more in the future!
