In case you are wondering what we actually are, I just wanted to tell you a little about the event:
What we are: A concert and fashion show to raise funds and awareness about forms of modern day slavery through ticket sales, donations, media attention, and selling items made by the very people the show supports. One individual from each Pepperdine campus organization will be highlighted as a model in the fashion show. Come support your friends!
Who is involved: YOU, Pepperdine Students, Southern Californian Guests, Donors, Survivors of the warfare in the Sudan and Thai sex trafficking, Celebrities, Musicians, Fair-Trade Clothing Designers, and Other University Guests.
Where: At Pepperdine University's 30 acres of rolling green hills overlooking the Pacific Ocean, known as "Alumni Park".
When: Sunday, November 2, 2008, from 2pm to 7pm.
Why:
-Over 25,000 Sudanese children (ages 3 and up) have been kidnapped and forced to kill their families and one another in a war they don't understand and for which they aren't responsible.
-In 2005, 9.5 million people were trafficked in Asia alone. the majority of these victims are children, kidnapped and forced into the sex trade. .
-We're a part of a global community and we believe God has instructed us "as you have done it unto the least of these, you have done it unto me."
We thank you for your heartfelt consideration and support of this show and most importantly, these children.
Love and Blessings,
Sara Ward
Executive Chair of Life Mission Concert and Fashion Show
