First, it was Black Friday. Then, with the advent and popularity of online shopping came Cyber Monday. Ironically, even companies not based in the United States are on the Black Friday and Cyber Monday bandwagons (which is funny because both dates are tied to the U.S. holiday of Thanksgiving). In the wake of these two days, I love that a new tradition has arisen\u2014<strong>Giving Tuesday<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the name suggests, Giving Tuesday is the first Tuesday after Thanksgiving where you are encouraged to give. And today, we encourage you to give, give, give! Ideally, this would be a mindset you would adopt throughout the entire year. And one person who has spent nearly twenty years reminding people of that mindset is Andy Stein.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-default\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-making-magic-and-a-difference\">Making \u201cmagic\u201d and a difference<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Andy Stein, founder and executive chairman of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.osf.org\/\">Orphaned Starfish Foundation<\/a> (OSF), likes to refer to himself as a recovering banker. After twenty-five years in the field of finance and big business as an investment banker and development financier, Andy decided there had to be something more to life. He always had a passion for working with kids. Throughout his entire life, he would participate in Walkathons, Bikeathons, and help with Special Olympics. So just over two decades ago, when various country managers were clamoring for him to come to work his \u201cmagic\u201d as a financier in their respective countries, Andy made them an offer they couldn\u2019t refuse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI told them to find me an orphanage and put two hours on my schedule so that I could go play with the kids.\u201d They did, and Andy found himself performing <em>literal<\/em> magic\u2014as in magic tricks for orphaned kids in countries like Chile where one orphanage affectionately named him \u201cTio Mago\u201d (Uncle Magician).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/andy-stein-senderos-de-paz.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/andy-stein-senderos-de-paz.jpg\" alt=\"Andy Stein, founder and executive chairman of the Orphaned Starfish Foundation (OSF)\" class=\"wp-image-68569\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/andy-stein-senderos-de-paz.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/andy-stein-senderos-de-paz-213x120.jpg 213w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/andy-stein-senderos-de-paz-284x160.jpg 284w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/andy-stein-senderos-de-paz-190x107.jpg 190w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/andy-stein-senderos-de-paz-548x308.jpg 548w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/andy-stein-senderos-de-paz-364x204.jpg 364w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/andy-stein-senderos-de-paz-750x421.jpg 750w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/andy-stein-senderos-de-paz-230x129.jpg 230w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/andy-stein-senderos-de-paz-100x56.jpg 100w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/andy-stein-senderos-de-paz-213x120@2x.jpg 426w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/andy-stein-senderos-de-paz-284x160@2x.jpg 568w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/andy-stein-senderos-de-paz-190x107@2x.jpg 380w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><figcaption><strong><em>Andy Stein, founder and executive chairman of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.osf.org\/\">Orphaned Starfish Foundation<\/a> (OSF)<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>There is perhaps no better fulfillment in life than that of making a difference in the lives of children. Having had the opportunity myself to participate in such programs, I know the overwhelming feeling that accompanies work that helps rescue children from slave labor, sex trafficking, or gives them educational opportunities they wouldn\u2019t otherwise have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Andy recently had the opportunity to share his experiences at the annual <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fcpxcreativesummit.com\/\">FCPX Creative Summit<\/a> (held virtually this year due to COVID-19). His presentation focused on the power of technology to provide avenues of freedom and empowerment to orphaned children all over the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-vimeo wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-vimeo wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"embed-vimeo\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/485681644\" width=\"1170\" height=\"658\" frameborder=\"0\" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It was on one of his trips to that aforementioned orphanage in Chile where OSF was born. One of the nuns in the orphanage told Andy something he never previously knew. \u201cShe told me, \u2018Tio Mago, I don\u2019t know if you know this, but when the girls here reach the age of 18, if they are not adopted, they are forced to leave the orphanage. When they do, 100% of them end up on the streets or as prostitutes.\u2019 That broke my heart.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/colombia-senderos-de-paz.jpg\" alt=\"Andy Stein doing magic with a girl\" class=\"wp-image-68570\" width=\"550\" height=\"310\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/colombia-senderos-de-paz.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/colombia-senderos-de-paz-213x120.jpg 213w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/colombia-senderos-de-paz-284x160.jpg 284w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/colombia-senderos-de-paz-190x107.jpg 190w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/colombia-senderos-de-paz-548x308.jpg 548w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/colombia-senderos-de-paz-364x204.jpg 364w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/colombia-senderos-de-paz-750x421.jpg 750w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/colombia-senderos-de-paz-230x129.jpg 230w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/colombia-senderos-de-paz-100x56.jpg 100w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/colombia-senderos-de-paz-213x120@2x.jpg 426w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/colombia-senderos-de-paz-284x160@2x.jpg 568w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/colombia-senderos-de-paz-190x107@2x.jpg 380w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><figcaption><strong><em>This little girl has a much brighter future ahead of herself due to the work of OSF<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Six months later, Andy raised $40,000, returned, and set up a technology center where the children were able to learn Microsoft Office programs, typing, how to use the internet, and other computer-related and job skills. Acquiring these skills gave these children the ability to go to college and eventually get jobs in industries like banking, technology, the arts, and hospitality. In the twenty years since setting up the center, only one girl has fallen into prostitution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-default\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The power of technology to make a difference<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Andy realized the power of technology to make a difference in these childrens&#8217; lives and set up OSF to establish technology centers in orphanages around the world. Today OSF serves over 15,000 kids in countries like America Samoa, Brazil, Chile, Ecuador, Ethiopia, Nicaragua, Paraguay, Puerto Rico, Uruguay, and twenty others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Technology centers need technology<\/strong>; and in OSF&#8217;s twenty-year history, OWC became its first hardware partner, not only providing refurbished Macs and storage for the foundation but also committing to create OWC media centers at numerous existing OSF sites. Seven official OWC media centers will be created over the next year, four in under-resourced communities in the US, and three abroad in Haiti, Panama, and the Dominican Republic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additional technology partners include <a href=\"https:\/\/luma-touch.com\/\">LumaTouch<\/a> (providing their mobile editing program LumaFusion), the social media management firm <a href=\"https:\/\/tsmaconsulting.com\/\">TSMA<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/apogeedigital.com\/\">Apogee<\/a>, the audio equipment and software company. They\u2019ve recently also partnered with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wemakemovies.org\/\">We Make Movies<\/a> and Apple to educate kids in select cities and empower them to tell their stories through video production. They hope to expand and offer this latest program to all 15,000+ children they serve. But that takes significant investment, which for an organization like OSF, is largely raised through their annual fundraising events. Needless to say, their fundraising plans were drastically changed due to the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the COVID pandemic, OSF was still able to put on a fundraising event with an impressive and star-studded \u201ccast\u201d that participated in varying ways to let the children of OSF know that they were not alone. Jennifer Lopez, Jon Bon Jovi, Carol King, Sasha Cohen, Skip Marley, Giancarlo Stanton, Mario, Malik Yoba, and more all took the time to give a special message to the OSF children for the gala. Through the technology partners mentioned above, OSF was able to virtually host and broadcast the gala and raise over $900,000! This will give them the ability to build many more media centers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-vimeo wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-vimeo wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"embed-vimeo\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/485671473\" width=\"1170\" height=\"658\" frameborder=\"0\" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-default\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The marriage of Marisol<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There was perhaps no story as powerful as that of Marisol from Chile. \u201cMarisol was one of the worst victims of abuse I had met. Her mother had been killed and her sister suffered brain damage. [Through the program] she was able to learn valuable skills and taught herself English reading the Harry Potter books. She got a scholarship from OSF, went to college, and graduated sum cum laude. She was destined for prostitution, but is now an executive in a local bank.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The crowning achievement and glory of Marisol\u2019s story was that two years ago, Andy, her \u201cTio Mago,\u201d was able to walk her down the aisle at her wedding and give her away. \u201cAfter the wedding, she told me, \u2018Tio Mago, because of my abuse, we thought I would not be able to have children, but we were wrong.\u2019 She then pulled out an envelope with a sonogram photo of her as yet unborn son. He was born a year later.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are literally thousands of stories like Marisol\u2019s. Children whose futures were previously destined for trauma, abuse, heartache, or loneliness, are now bright and bound for a better tomorrow. All because a banker with nearly half a million miles on Continental Airlines flying around the world helping to build literal bridges, instead chose to build figurative bridges from poverty to posterity, and from hopelessness to happiness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-medium\"><a href=\"https:\/\/osf.org\/donate\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"120\" height=\"120\" src=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/2019GivingTuesdayHeartLogo-120x120.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-56443\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/2019GivingTuesdayHeartLogo-120x120.png 120w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/2019GivingTuesdayHeartLogo-190x190.png 190w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/2019GivingTuesdayHeartLogo-284x284.png 284w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/2019GivingTuesdayHeartLogo.png 400w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/2019GivingTuesdayHeartLogo-120x120@2x.png 240w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/2019GivingTuesdayHeartLogo-190x190@2x.png 380w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 120px) 100vw, 120px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-center byline wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-on-this-giving-tuesday-you-can-participate-in-osf-s-grand-dream-by-donating-here\"><a href=\"https:\/\/osf.org\/donate\">On this \u201cGiving Tuesday,\u201d you can participate in OSF\u2019s grand dream by donating here.<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-default\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-related-reading\">Related Reading<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-yoast-seo-related-links\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/67102-owc-we-make-movies-osf-2020-gala\/\">OWC Partners with We Make Movies on The Orphaned Starfish Foundation 2020 Fundraising Gala<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/61852-owc-radio-orphaned-starfish-foundation\/\">OWC RADiO: Changing the Lives of Children With the Orphaned Starfish Foundation<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the name suggests, Giving Tuesday is the first Tuesday after Thanksgiving where you are encouraged to give.
