Update #13: Please Donate Alex to be in Yemen
Dear friends, last March I met this 22 years old amazing American photographer her name is Alex who come by herself all the way from America to Yemen to cover the Yemeni revolution, I never met a brave young female photographer like her, she moved all times by herself from one governorate to another in Yemen no matter how situation was not safe and dangerous but she is so brave and amazing and I loved what she has done in Yemen, and now she is launching a kickstarter campaign to return to Yemen and photograph the transition period. Please spread the word for Alex to be here in Yemen again and enjoyed her photos in kickstarter. Love and Light A

Update #9: A documentary about Muslim exchange Students
Dear Kickstarter People,
Here is an amazing project that I wish I could be part of, the project will help reduce social distance between Christians and Muslims.
The project is a micro-documentary that reveals a heart-touching friendship between Molly (American) and Anum (Pakistan) as well as the positive and sometimes challenging experiences from four other Muslim exchange students in America (from Palestine, Sierra Leone, & Pakistan).
Would you spare a moment to visit the project's kickstarter website and share the link amongst your friends and contacts via social media and possibly email lists?
Thank you to all amazing people in this world.
Light to All your Hearts,
Amira

I was born in Saudi Arabia and grew up in Yemen. As you may know these are very conservative societies. While some women are allowed to work, being female photojournalist is practically unheard of. I have had to fight all my life for my education and am the first person in my family who has graduated from university. I love photography and it is my way to communicate. I appreciate your support!
