links to learn more

i thought it would be good to provide a little background and some links to a few organizations so you can have more insight on what has encouraged this trip.

brad and jill, who founded the invisible girl project, met on a common ground mission trip a few years ago. soon after, jill moved to chennai to work for the international justice mission, and brad joined her a year later once they were married. it was during this time in chennai they first learned about female infanticide.

IJM has operations in 11 countries across the world, working to ensure justice for human rights (slavery, sexual oppression and other violent acts). while we are there, we will meet with some of jill's old co-workers to learn more about what IJM is doing around the world.

much of our time while in chennai will be spent learning. which relates back to my previous post about gaining a better vision.

however, while we are there, we will spend some time with the girls at home of love. i have [eagerly] volunteered to be the designated photographer for our group during our time in india and am excited to help document our time while at home of love. of the few things we have "planned to do", recording the stories of the girls here is one of them. our team will be talking with the girls to learn more about them - what they like to do, their favorite things. the hope is that in documenting them, home of love will soon be able to seek support opportunities, similar to other organizations offering child sponsorship.

hopefully this post and links give you a little more insight to what our vision is for this trip and a few ways you can beginning praying for our team.
