ACTION
Be the Love is all about action. We believe that each of us holds a part of the solution in our hands. Our hope is that you will join us and that together we can have a tremendous impact for good.
Here's how you can join the movement!
Be the Love: Global
Anti Trafficking
Be the Love is partnering with the A21 Campaign to fight human trafficking. We are joining with them to support their mission to raise awareness, take legal action where appropriate, and offer rehabilitation services to rescued victims of human trafficking in order to fight this injustice from a comprehensive approach. Be the Love has set a fundraising goal of $10,000 which we plan to present to the A21 Campaign in February 2011. For more information about the A21 Campaign visit their website at www.thea21campaign.org
Once you've identified how you would like to support please contact the Be the Love team at bethelovecampaign@gmail.com
Orphans
Be the Love is supporting Joint Aid Management (JAM) in their goal of feeding 1 million African children each day. JAM is an African founded, registered non-profit humanitarian relief and development organization, with 26 years experience in sustainable development. JAM’s programs focus on nutritional feeding, school feeding, assistance to orphans and vulnerable children, the provision of water and sanitation, as well as skills development, community training on agricultural development, income generation projects and HIV/AIDS programming.

Here's how you can help.
We want to empower you to use what is in your hand to make a difference. Are you an artist? An organizer? Chef? Whatever it is that you do well, we want to encourage you to think creatively about how you can use that gift to raise awareness and funds for this issue. For example, if you have a home and a TV, plan a movie showing and invite your friends. It could be as simple as hosting a dinner party and asking your guests to consider giving towards this cause. You could ask friends and family to donate to this cause in lieu a birthday presents. There are many ways that we can join together to make a difference. All it takes is action.
Additionally, every year Beautiful You hosts a Christmas Tea for the women in the DC metro area at the Willard Hotel. This year's event will be held on Saturday, December 3rd and proceeds from the event will go to support the work of the A21 Campaign. You can help by attending the event and inviting your friends. If you're a guy, it makes a great gift for the special women in your life.
and we'll be happy to work with you in making it a success

Everyday
Be the love is not an event or a one time thing. It's a lifestyle. We're encouraging you to be the change in your world by actively looking for ways to encourage and help the people you come in contact with on a daily basis. Whether it be a simple smile, paying for someone's coffee or unplugging your ipod long enough to listen, you can make a different in someone's day and life!
Empathy is not enough. Be the Love
