Who am I?

Hi.

I’m Isabel. 

I’m a worker. I quite like working.

I’m a student. I quite like learning.

I like creativity.  Am I creative?  Some might say so. Sometimes I wonder. I definitely like other people’s creativity.

I like the practical. I like cooking. I like sharing a meal with friends and strangers.

I like helping people.  I like giving.

It’s not purely altruistic in the truest sense of the word, as I get to feel pretty neat when I do something nice for someone. 
It doesn’t have to be for someone I know. I like helping others less fortunate than myself.


Picture

The Gentle Altruist Avatar

My avatar is a Robin bird, or to be more specific a Red-capped Robin. My web presence is about altruism so when I was choosing my avatar I wanted it to have a peaceful and natural tone and decided on a bird to represent me. I have recently changed the background and flora colours since it was first designed from beige to white (and redesigned my web presence after deciding to register the domain). The beige was, well, beige. I used a pattern template from colourlovers designed by Gabrielle Marie under a CC-BY-NC-SA licence which means that I can adapt the original image, but also have to apply that licence to my avatar. So, anyone is free to use it provided that they also abide by and apply the terms of a CC-BY-NC-SA licence.
