| Omnilogy
Inc. was founded in 2008 as a multi-faceted approach to empowering
people and improving the cultural, socio-economic and environmental
aspects of communities in Southeast Asia through the power of
inspiration. The term Omnilogy came from the founder's research paper
entitled "OMNILOGICAL RESOURCE PAVILION (ORP)" a proposed museum of global information; an unobtrusive approach to informing and empowering the poor and indigenous people. The
word "omnilogical" is the founder's coinage; it comes from the prefix
"omni-," meaning all, and the suffix "-logy," which signifies a science
or branch of study. An ORP is a kind of museum of global information,
which is a sort of physical version of an internet in the sense that it
is a space that has a global reach by virtue of the information
communication technology (ICT) that it makes use of. The ORP will have
the potential to present different kinds of information from different
fields of study and tell a story with this information so that a user
will experience it instead of having to read it, and will present it in a
relatively neutral and unbiased manner, thereby overcoming the barriers
of language, literacy, and formal education. During the course of
research, the founder lived in International House New York, where she
engaged in various leadership activities, and formed camaraderie with
people hailing from over 121 countries across the globe regardless of
differences in terms of culture, education, expertise, language,
religion, gender, age and many more. The research paper became
the footprint that shaped the framework of the organization's goals
while the founder's experience living in a community of inspired
individuals coming together as a brotherhood became the springboard that
launched Omnilogy. The Omnilogy team consists primarily of IHouse
alumni working together to bridge the gap across cultures and between
cultures. The founder's inspiration stemmed from a culmination of
diverse experiences e.g. architecture, international affairs,
entrepreneurship, leadership, community service, etc. in various
multi-cultural environments, primarily in International House (IHouse),
New York in which David Rockefeller gave a $5 million endowment gift,
the single largest contribution in 2007. International House was founded
by Harry Edmonds, supported by the Rockefeller and Dodge families with
the mission of preparing leaders for the Global Community. Omnilogy
recognizes and aims to merge the demand for innovative and effective
ventures through different rosters of professionals coming from diverse
backgrounds and expertise who are eager to participate in philanthropy
and sustainable development work. Projects are carried out by assigning a
team of leaders that will work in collaboration with the local
government and other organizations. Multiple beneficiaries are targeted
through the different and custom-made approaches designed by Omnilogy
Inc. Hence, Omnilogy specialize in the general yet implement
solutions through leaders that specialize in certain fields, such as
social work, performing arts, media, architecture, urban design,
environmental studies, and many more. In analogy, Omnilogy Inc.
functions as a conductor in an orchestra that brings together all
experts from different fields and aims to make music through sustainable
social change. We give for example our objective for the "Bridging the
Gap Concert Series". This event is not just a concert. The process of
making this event happen is designed to create sustainable impact
through our outreach programs that branch out from this event. |
