"It is the function of creative people to perceive relations between thoughts, or things, or forms of expressions that seem utterly different, and to be able to Connect the seemingly Unconnected".

Hello! Nancy Padron here. I have been a creativity champion for years. My passion for many years has been working with young people to encourage each to dream big and live their dreams.
I am currently the Communications and Internship Coordinator with an international humanitarian organization: ASCEND, A Hmanitarian Alliance (www.ascendalliance.org). The mission of the organization is to empower those in need to save their children and ascend out of poverty. We work in impoverished communities in Latin America and Africa.
In this position, I get to tap into my creative resources to influence volunteers, interns, potential donors, and directly and indirectly work to inspire individuals and families in the areas and villiages where ASCEND works.
When teaching, I sometimes use an analogy of a person with their head in the clouds, and their feet firmly on the ground. Creativity demands both. Working to influence villagers with cultural, financial, and physical limitations keeps things very real for me. We often hear, “But that is not possible.” Our answer to that is, “Then what is possible?”
Dream big. Keep it real. Foster hope. Be both teacher and student. Learn and teach. Yin and yang. Balance. Not always easy, but always worth it.
