When you do nothing, you feel overwhelmed and powerless. But when you get involved, you feel the sense of hope and accomplishment that comes from knowing you are working to make things better.
We all know how important an education is, to our children as well as to the children living in poverty. An education can change the path of a child in poverty so drastically that everyone around them changes too.
A few months ago I met some amazing people through
Architecture for Humanity and
Edge of 7. The spirit of these people has been awe inspiring and life changing for me. The two organizations have teamed up to build schools for girls in the Everest Region of Nepal. A region that the majority of the people live on less then a dollar a day and most girls never get past the 8th grade.
Change Begins with Her is an amazing documentary showing just what these girls face every single day. Things most teenage girls here in America can’t even fathom.
For me seeing a project that encompassed architecture, education and girls was like a light bulb going off. I have to do something for these amazing girls. I want to go. I want to get my hands dirty and see first hand what these girls face. So I am going to Nepal! A trip that will take all my faith, energy and strength. But a trip that I hope will change so many lives beyond my little world.
So to help raise the money for the girls in Nepal and my trip I’m doing special portrait sessions just for them. I’m so excited to offer packages that not only give my clients a deal but also will go directly to helping the girls in Nepal. All proceeds will go to Edge of 7.
The details:
Package A $250
A 45 minute session and disk of 35 images.
Package B $500
A 45 minute session, a disk of 35 images, and 50 Christmas Cards
Package C $750
A 45 minute session, a disk of 35 images, 50 Christmas Cards, and 2 signed fine art prints from Nepal. AND styling by the uber talented Jill of
Common Couture! (not sure what to where or want your hair and make up done, Jill’s your gal!)
Session will be held on three different dates, Saturday Oct 15th, Sunday Oct 23rd and Thursday Oct 27th. There are also 4 time slots each day, 10am, 11:15am , 3pm, and 4:15pm.
Locations of the portraits are Saturday Oct 15th at a secret location here in Denver. It’s a fantastic park that won’t disappoint. When you sign up I’ll fill you in on where the park is.
Sunday the 23rd and Thursday the 27th will be at Botanic Gardens Chatfield. They have their awesome corn maze going on right now!
I feel so blessed to have such amazing opportunities and such amazing clients. Thank you so much to all of you for your support and love. I can’t wait to get back and blog all about the amazing people I’ll meet.
