Celebrating Mothers: Global Portraits to Inform and Inspire - Book

 

Deadline for submissions is October 12, 2007.

 

amie@celebratingmothers.org

 

In an effort to celebrate global diversity, we are seeking nominations of exemplary mothers from every corner of the world and all walks of life.  The book will serve as a window to issues affecting mothers worldwide, different approaches to balancing work or volunteerism and family, and the common threads that bind all caregivers, regardless of home or heritage. 

Contributing organizations and individuals will raise more awareness of their efforts through the book and a percentage of the book’s proceeds will be given back to nonprofit coalitions working to support women and children worldwide.

With the unique and severe challenges women and children face in some of the world’s war-torn, impoverished and developing regions, we are particularly interested in hearing stories from empowered women in countries like (but not limited to):

Albania, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Benin, Bolivia, China, Congo, Croatia, Cuba, Egypt, Ethiopia, Georgia, Guatemala, India, Iraq, Jordan, Mali, Mexico, Mozambique, Nepal, Nicaragua, Pakistan, Philippines, Romania, Rwanda, Senegal, Somalia, Sudan, Tanzania, Vietnam, and Ukraine

Please submit nominations for exemplary women who are:

  • mothers (birth or adoptive) to children under age 18, 
  • involved in advocacy for women’s or children’s issues at a local or national level,
  • initiating positive change in their communities and inspiring other mothers to do the same 

Send nominations (limit 5 per organization) to celebratingmothers@gmail.com.

In order to be considered, submissions should include:

  • Name of individual
  • Detailed description of social activism-- work or volunteer affiliations
  • Country of origin and residence
  • Number of children and ages
  • Contact information (email, telephone, address, website)
  • Recent photo, if available

Deadline for submissions is October 12, 2007.  Please direct all questions to Amie Brooke Nelson at amie@celebratingmothers.org
