The Hope project

The hope project will be a limited edition coffee table book filled with beautiful photography. Thebook will also contain essays, quotes and poems from some of the world's greatest minds. All of the essays, quotes and poems will revolve around a central theme PEACE. The book will not be politically slanted in any one direction . I will distribute these books locally at first and expand it's circulation as the book's popularity grows. Readers will find these books in locations such as Doctor's offices or just about anywhere where you might want something entertaining to look over while waiting for services for instance

I envision a world without war. A safe, loving and peaceful world where our children can live without fear, my coffee table book will be a small nudge in that direction. I am not under the misconception that this book will cause some major change in world consciousness but my conscious will be clean . You cannot shake hands with a clenched fist. ~Attributed to both Golda Meir and Indira Gandhi.
