We designed their first t-shirt and in so doing, created their logo symbolizing freedom for children trapped in the sex trade.</p>
<p><strong>Their Mission:</strong></p>
<p>To provide healing, hope and a future to girls who have been victims of human trafficking.Through safe homes, raising awareness and the arts, we strive to create a movement of freedom.</p>
<p><strong>Their Work:</strong></p>
<p>There are over 27 million people in the world today who are held as slaves. There are at least 1.2 million children who are sold into slavery for the purposes of sexual exploitation each year. She Dances strives to create a movement of response to this injustice within artists, musicians, organizations, churches, and every breathing soul&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.bedouinsinternational.org/blog/wp-content/plugins/feed-statistics.php?url=aHR0cDovL3NoZWRhbmNlcy5vcmcvaG9wZS1pbi1ob25kdXJhcw==" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Hope in Honduras </strong></a> is a movement they have started in order to build a safe home for girls in Tegucigalpa, Honduras who have been victims of human trafficking. In order to raise funds to build the safe home, She Dances is hosting a benefit called <strong><a href="http://www.bedouinsinternational.org/blog/wp-content/plugins/feed-statistics.php?url=aHR0cDovL2FydGJyaW5nc2hvcGUuY29tLw==" target=\"_blank\">Art brings Hope</a></strong> on September 25th at The Matt Jones Gallery.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you&#8217;ve checked out the projects section of <a href="http://www.bedouinsinternational.org/blog/wp-content/plugins/feed-statistics.php?url=aHR0cDovL3d3dy5iZWRvdWluc2ludGVybmF0aW9uYWwub3Jn">our site</a> you might have seen a shirt design I created for and organization called She Dances. She Dances, for those unfamiliar with the name, is an organization started by our friends Jeremy and Nedra that is dedicated to raising awareness and action on the topic of sex trafficking. The &#8220;wings&#8221; t-shirt was designed to be sold at shows by Jeremy&#8217;s band Thalon and to be a means of support for the organization. Since its original printing the shirt has sold very well, and has become a primary source of income for She Dances. In fact this simple symbol has become iconic of their organization and its purpose, a logo of sorts even.</p>
<p>This is something that excites me, because it means to me that my work was successful. Not just successful in creating a cool shirt, but in creating a symbol that transcends its original format. That&#8217;s something I strive for in everything I create and something I encourage you to think about. Don&#8217;t just think about the here and now of even the smallest of projects; think about the big picture. A solid piece of design i more than just a cute image; its an icon, communicating a message that is timeless and transcendent.</p>
<p>I say all that to brag on just one of the amazing things God is doing through Bedouins, and to encourage you to visit She Dances&#8217; new website. They just launched it earlier this month at <a href="http://www.bedouinsinternational.org/blog/wp-content/plugins/feed-statistics.php?url=aHR0cDovL3d3dy5zaGVkYW5jZXMub3Jn">shedances.org</a>. Check it out and you just might see those wings again.<br />
