Artist

Dan Jiji

Dan was always drawn to numbers, algebra, and colorful geometric forms. He is passionate about lines and shapes that remind him of Moorish architecture’s perfectly organized geometric shapes. He combines his computer expertise with his mathematical and artistic ability to create wonderfully futuristic artwork.

He invented “Art in 1000 Straight Lines” a series where math meets art.  Each piece is created as Geometric Abstract Art plotted with one-thousand lines. The thousand intersecting straight lines somehow appear to twist and curve resulting in beautiful unique designs. Using natural mathematical formulas as a seed, the plots blossom with light and color. Mathematical simplicity, geometrical precision, and vibrant colors come together as a wonderful artistic surprise 

His joy in life is creating art that is meditative, fun, exciting, and mesmerizing. He uses his story to inspires creativity in others often saying “it’s never too late to create!”

ANITA'S CHILDREN ORGANIZATION
www.anitaskids.org

Dear Tita Gloria,

I hope all is well with you all. I am in awe of this opportunity to share with you a wonderful foundation called Project Michelangelo foundation. 

 Project Michelangelo is an independent and private organization established in 2011 and conceived from human elements of compassion and hope mobilized into angelic-like response for humanity through educational endowment for needy but deserving children and young adults, assistance to children with cancer and life-threatening diseases like our Progeria Children shown above, by helping grant a wish for a terminally-ill child, and partnership with rescue organizations in times of calamities and disasters. 

 The name Michelangelo means Messenger who resembles God and is the image and essence of the foundations mission in delivering hope and watching over to empower the children of the world and their appointed guardians.

 What is Progeria?

Progeria (pro-JEER-e-uh), also known as Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome, is an extremely rare, progressive genetic disorder. It causes children to age rapidly, starting in their first two years of life. 

Children with progeria generally appear healthy at birth. During the first year, symptoms such as slowed growth, loss of fat tissue and hair loss begin to appear.

Heart problems or strokes are the eventual cause of death in most children with progeria. The average life expectancy for a child with progeria is about 15 years. Some with the condition may die younger with their age expectancy between 14 to 16 years of age. We are still searching for a cure for Progeria and new treatments and research show some promising studies in managing symptoms and complications.

Project Michelangelo foundation searches for these children around the world. Partnered with Progeria Research foundation and Boston Childrens Hospital for their clinical trials hoping to extend their lifespan. Currently we have 6 children in the Philippines. We are helping with their nutritional supplements and daily necessities. We hope for the cure of this Genetic disorder. 

By your help and everyone in our community at large we would like to provide the awareness and campaign, as all races and families around the world are affected.

 Thank you and God bless you for your heart of gold. 

With much love and respect,

Janette Doria
