vote hope

i'm taking my place as one of the sistas!  a very cool and worthwhile assignment has been taken up by two of the shutter sisters crowd; their assignment, to  travel abroad gathering and sharing images of hope: 

Here's how it works: This amazing community will generate the most powerful images of hope we can find. From those images we'll create tangible hope notes for Jen and Stephanie to take with them wherever they travel to tell the world we're listening. At each destination, Jen and Stephanie will introduce the world to a new story of hope while the Shutter Sisters at home show us all the ways hope flourishes in the hidden everyday spaces. From these images and stories, together we'll generate a visual catalog of hope--images that that can be transformed into practical print resources and literacy tools for the hopeful people we've met from around the world.  People who know and embody the essence of hope in spite of war, poverty, loss or the threat of despair.

you can too...
