Holly Jade O'Leary oversaw all aspects of the production; from the initial event conception and curation, casting, interior decor, fittings, technical booking and back line facilitation, risk assessments, contractual obligations, production schedule, event management, artist liason, accounts, and post production to deliver a cohesive, unforgettable occasion of calibre entertainment with a compassionate message.
The Liberty Foundation exists to provide care and education for abused and abandoned children in Belize, Central America.
They are a small charity with a big focus on providing high quality services for children in Belize. Their vision has always been to give children much more than just shelter and food.
In 2003 Marcelle Delahaye, Founder of Liberty Foundation, spent a significant time in Belize and visited children’s homes across the country. She saw a clear need for an alternative residential facility for children in the Belize City area who had been abandoned, or removed from their home due to abuse.
39% of children in Belsize live below the poverty line and there is a widespread prevalience of Aids and HIV.
Liberty Learning Centre provides education for up to forty pre-school children in the local community of Ladyville, including those with special needs. Liberty draws from the Montessori educational approach - originally developed for underprivileged children - and focuses on working with each child to develop independence, confidence and a desire to learn.
As an ethical and compassionate business; Holly Jade O'Leary prioritises working alongside, and raising awareness about companies which promote social change, inclusion and positive environmental awareness.
