uganda makes me thankful…
by |
This is one of the beautiful girls in the village in Uganda. She was injured by the LRA and lost both of her parents at their hands. Yet this smile is full of hope and melts hearts. This makes me thankful today. We got to be there for the opening of the water well we helped raise money to put in for this village. There are now over 400 families from 2 villages that will now have clean drinking water. This makes me thankful today. This girl was the first girl to pump water from the new well. She was so excited to have fresh water. This makes me thankful. Normally not a two tone edit guy, but the hope in the yellow of that can for these children is huge. This makes me thankful. … [Read more...]

RESCUE A GIRL FROM THE SEX TRADE

image via she dances dot org My good friends over at the organization SHE DANCES are in the middle of a campaign to raise money to get their safe house in Honduras funded for the next year. They are asking 200 people to commit to $20 a month for the next year. It seems a small price to pay to give girls their lives and innocence back. Here is what they wrote on their website recently: Every girl deserves to dream. Every girl deserves hope. Every girl deserves to love and to be loved. Every girl deserves to dance. When she dances she is alive… when she dances she is free. She's free to live, to laugh, to love. She's free in her heart… she's free in her spirit. Hope moves within her… beauty finds her. She Dances. Our heartbeat… To see freedom in the lives of the 27 million people in our world today that are held as slaves. Our cry… To believe in the future and hope of the 800,000 girls who are trafficked across international borders each year for the purpose … [Read more...]
