JFK University held the first of three Traveling Postcards events on December 3rd. All female staff, students and faculty were invited to participate in making a postcard for the women of Malawi. I photographed groups of good friends and several women brought old photos from home to honor loved ones who could not be present. All materials were provided, including old buttons and some beautiful owl feathers.
I am continually amazed at the creativity and individuality I see in each postcard. No two cards are the same and the essence of each women who participates shines through her words and her art.
Everyone seemed very pleased to take time away from working and studying and devote a few precious moments to create a heartfelt message for another woman. I send a BIG 'thank you' to JFK women!
Next event: JFKU Campbell, January 2009!
