Why wait till November to vote? Vote now and help a great photography project in Rwanda.

Dear friends,

I wanted to share an email with you all that I received tonight from a good friend who played an integral part in The World Through My Eyes. With only a few minutes of your time you can help a similar photography project with kids in Rwanda get some much needed funding. Please read Tara’s email below and go to the http://www.volvoforlifeawards.com website to cast your vote.

"Hello, Friends,

Many of you know that I was a involved in starting The Rwanda Project, which worked with children at the Imbabazi Orphanage in Rwanda. We gave the children cameras and they documented their lives, healing some of the painful memories and traumas.

Rosamond (Roz) Carr, an amazing American woman who lived in Rwanda for the past 60 years, founded the Imbabazi Orphanage following the Genocide of 1994. This past Friday night, at age 94, Roz passed away in Gisenyi, Rwanda. She leaves behind over 120 children who were in her care and loved her deeply. As a project with a long history with these children, we are anxious to help during this difficult time. We hope you might be willing to help as well.

Roz won the VOLVO FOR LIFE Award in 2004 for her work with the children and she was once again up for the Award this year. We have just learned that Roz can still win the VOLVO FOR LIFE Award and the monetary prize can still go to the orphanage. If you could take a moment and visit the Volvo For Life Award site and VOTE FOR ROSAMOND CARR, it would be appreciated. Please pass this to your friends - every vote counts
