This morning, we met in the prayer room at church (new record, there were FIVE of us!) and hung out for several hours. We dug cardboard out of recycling dumpsters, made signs for a human trafficking fundraiser that is being planned for next weekend, flipped through Fair Trade catalogs, talked about different companies that have recorded human rights abuses, researched statistics, researched wells and fundraising sites, watched a short documentary called "At the End of Slavery," and made collages using quotes from the movie.
One of the girls brought in a stack of magazines to use and came up with this piece, which I think is pretty awesome. (Can you tell that she's an artistic type?)
One other collage left unfinished, and one of the girls decided that her time was better spent doing more clean water research. Which, I can empathize with!
My own attempts at collaging turned out a little less stellar, but it's the thought that counts, right? :)
