AIDS? Genocide? Or maybe the vision of a small child with a swollen belly, surrounded by flies? … Too many non-profits ask for your pity by depicting poor, helpless Africans. But like any stereotype, this portrayal has more exceptions than truth.<br/> Mama Hope feels it is time to re-humanize Africa and look to the positive change that is happening. Through a series of videos Mama Hope wants to show the light of the people we serve in Africa. We aspire to introduce our partner communities to you with the integrity and brilliance that we witness everyday. In these videos we feature the shared traits that make us all human—the dancing, the singing, the laughter and bring the compelling truth of their lives to your living room. <br/> This is a campaign to build awareness of the simple fact that we are more similar than different. It’s time for us to change the way we see people across the world and start to see other communities for the people they are instead of the stereotypes we’ve been trained to expect. It is time to stop the pity and unlock the potential!</p></blockquote>http://jasmine-marie.tumblr.com/post/38836762053http://jasmine-marie.tumblr.com/post/38836762053Tue, 25 Dec 2012 19:02:39 -0800<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/5d39ef025746321c8c08c497afdc57f7/tumblr_mfjrcpZIQn1qcpd28o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://jasmine-marie.tumblr.com/post/38836734587http://jasmine-marie.tumblr.com/post/38836734587Tue, 25 Dec 2012 19:02:16 -0800<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/0094b27ce861f4f201ba3c634157e8fa/tumblr_mfao1oCTuH1qjxnl0o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://jasmine-marie.tumblr.com/post/38836694038http://jasmine-marie.tumblr.com/post/38836694038Tue, 25 Dec 2012 19:01:40 -0800<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/07f9cb474f79f3413435d8c9ccf49c30/tumblr_mfjw3zFZ8g1qd3jsao1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://powells.tumblr.com/post/38735117138/color-outside-the-lines" class="tumblr_blog" target="_blank">powells</a>:</p> <blockquote><p>Color outside the lines.</p></blockquote>http://jasmine-marie.tumblr.com/post/38836686337http://jasmine-marie.tumblr.com/post/38836686337Tue, 25 Dec 2012 19:01:35 -0800<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/6c6b28a361fafbacaa57b26c40b64ea3/tumblr_mf249dpzjA1r7rv29o1_500.png"/><br/><br/>http://jasmine-marie.tumblr.com/post/38836662539http://jasmine-marie.tumblr.com/post/38836662539Tue, 25 Dec 2012 19:01:14 -0800<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/045c821f64c0b7b54c06d645f1f417ae/tumblr_mfk375BCHp1qzupj0o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://bookshelfporn.com/post/38746222045/merry-christmas-to-all-our-readers-we-hope-you" class="tumblr_blog" target="_blank">bookshelfporn</a>:</p> <blockquote><p><span class="userContent">Merry Christmas to all our readers!

There are so many ways that you could style this transitional piece. For example, in the summertime, pair it with sandals, a floral neckace, and a wide-brimmed hat. For these colder months, try a slouchy cardigan, tights, and boots or oxfords. Colors like bright blue, plum, maroon, and kelly green will look gorgeous paired with the yellow stripe of this dress.

You touch them as they quiver with a divine pleasure. You read them and they fall asleep to happy dreams for the next 10 years. If you do them the favor of understanding them, of taking in their portions of grief and wisdom, then they settle down in contented residence in your heart.””<br/><br/> - <em>Pat Conroy; <em>My Reading Life</em> (via <a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://wordpainting.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">wordpainting</a>)</em>http://jasmine-marie.tumblr.com/post/38836078055http://jasmine-marie.tumblr.com/post/38836078055Tue, 25 Dec 2012 18:53:04 -0800
