Project: Raise Your Voice is a non-profit centered in Orange County, California. The goal of this venture is to observe, experience, respond to, and document the worldwide struggle against the ever growing epidemics of poverty and HIV/AIDS.
Our goal is to release a calendar each year, which will be a compilation of photographs and writing as a response and call to action regarding the crisis of disease and destitution facing a devastating amount of the worlds population. All of the earnings from these calendars will go directly to our cause.
The need is so very great for passionate young people to help make a difference. Even in light of the tragedy and immensity of the worlds condition, we work together to make a significant change, even in just a few lives...
...And to challenge people like you to begin to Raise Your Voice. |
