30 Days of Prayer for the Voiceless

I would like to collect the physical addresses of those who would like to receive a 30 Days of Prayer for the Voiceless booklet.

30 Days of Prayer for the Voiceless is a booklet that will introduce you to 30 global gender injustice issues (e.g. trafficking, FGM, and enforced prostitution), with images selected from travels all around the world.  These issues stand for the individual lives we will be tangibly engaged with throughout the two year track.

This booklet is a tool that will enable you to begin to engage in helping solve this colossal challenge that the world faces in the 21st century.  Our goal is to mobilize 100,000 people to pray 5 minutes each day for 30 days for these issues.  If successful, we will have raised 28.5 years worth of prayer!  In addition, this book will enable you to hit the streets and become a voice for the voiceless. 

If you are interested in receiving one, please email your physical address and I will do my best to put one in your hands.

The vision of PhotogenX is to use photography as a tool for cultural transformation so that issues such as gender based injustice will be issues of history instead of the future.  PhotogenX advocates for those who cannot speak for themselves (a voice for the voiceless) and challenges the current global status quo.  In addition, PhotogenX seeks to capture the people and places of every nation in the world showing off their beauty but not masking their pain.

Thank you.
