In preparation for hurricane season, Disaster Fighters and SuperWorld are issuing a series of collectible NFT cards representing every Caribbean nation, and available for purchase on the SuperWorld NFT Salon, a marketplace for art, collectibles and digital assets. Using blockchain technology, all NFT sales can be traced from the buyer to the country that benefits, with all proceeds going to CDEMA and local emergency agencies.

Elizabeth Riley, Executive Director at CDEMA says, "Many Caribbean countries have been battling the compound impacts of drought, COVID-19, volcanic eruptions and now the impending hurricane season. With this campaign, we wanted to use an innovative, inclusive approach to ensure that communities are empowered with the necessary plans, information and tools to tackle the disaster impacts that we as a region have been facing."

By purchasing these collectibles, local citizens, along with supporters of the Caribbean and members of the diaspora can actively engage in the region's fight against disasters, and provide immediate funding in the event of a natural disaster.

"I'm honored to see SuperWorld take part in such a broad-ranging and critical initiative," says SuperWorld Co-Founder and CEO Hrish Lotlikar. "Supporting communities in times of crisis aligns perfectly with our mission to build a better world, and our hope is that the NFT drop will help raise both funds and awareness to help mitigate the effects of the hurricane season in the Caribbean."

In addition, some of the biggest names in Caribbean sports, music and entertainment have come together to promote the initiative through communication outreach, including Daren Sammy, (Saint Lucia); Mr. Killa(Grenada); Tafa Mi Soleil (Haiti); Omari Banks (Anguilla), Kieran Powell (St. Kitts and Nevis); along with Dwayne DJ Bravo, Darren Ganga and Stacy Ann King(Trinidad), among others.

Crypto Toy Coin
This piece represents the creation of a new "Visual Toy", a term created by me to encompass my unique and exclusive GIF-Arts. The latter, "Crypto Toy Coin" is the only and first in the cryptocurrency theme. In it I represent the fast-paced world of finance in the virtual environment, the Internet with its universe of colors and infinite visual impact, an optimistic and exciting future, a world of possibilities that opens before us. These "Visual Toys" invite you to imagine, that is their function, that is the game. The ultimate goal is that you imagine, that it is you who gives it meaning. There are no good or bad answers, just the projection of each one. I've only created the trigger, the piece where you can project your imagination and let it fly.
