Artists Against Hunger – Artist Submission

This morning we received an eye catching photograph from Drew Schultz, you can read more about him on his blog.  His submission came with a very touching backstory, as emailed to us:

“i would like to make a note that the man in my poster is my grandfather…

The photo was taken 4 months before he left to fight in the Pacific during World War II
The house he is in front of is the same house my grandmother lives in today… 68 years later”

This poster reminded our team at ParkerWhite of the old saying: “Give a man a fish and you have fed him for today. Teach a man HOW to fish and he can feed himself for the rest of his life.”

Artists Against Hunger – Artist Submission

We received our second submission from an organization called UNASD. Here is a little bit of info about them:

The Millennium Project was commissioned by the United Nations Secretary-General in 2002 to develop a concrete action plan for the world to achieve the Millennium Development Goals and to reverse the grinding poverty, hunger and disease affecting billions of people.

Combining the art of design with an aspiration for social change, the United Nations Association San Diego has taken a creative step towards helping accomplish the UN Millennium Project. Graphic designer and UNASD Media and Public Relations Chair, Jeff Silva; photography instructor, Claire Schneider; and students at the Art Institute of California, San Diego worked together to design a unique and innovative series of eight images, each representing one of the Millennium Development Goals.

Each of these stunning images is framed by a clean design and a single word which encompasses that goal. When all eight images are displayed in order, the first letters of each word spell out an eight-letter word: POSSIBLE.

The Millennium Development Project strives to bring people from all walks of life together and unite them to a cause that ultimately makes our world a more peaceful place to live.
