Hello everyone. I would like to introduce myself and tell you what I am all about. My name is Johnna and I live in the US. I am an artist and I have created Art4TheHomeless, a blog dedicated to using art to help others--homeless in America. I know many of you have heard about homelessness in Africa and other countries, but what about America? Did you know that the average age of a homeless person in the USA is only 9 years old? Yes, there are more homeless children than adults here.

Now I know that some people like being homeless and love sponging off of others, they are the ones I am NOT trying to help. I basically promote shelters here.

I also have created a new ezine where artists can feature their artwork and those who want to advertise their product can do so for FREE. There is a catch--you have to subscribe which is also FREE. Why? Because I need people to see the art, the ads, and one other thing: the homeless shelter that is featured.

The more people who read my zine, see the art and ads, the more who will be compelled to do something--in their own community wherever they may be. You don't have to be an American to help the homeless. Lets say that a reader lives in the Netherlands. I am sure that someone in the Netherlands is homeless and in a shelter. They can help that particular shelter.

To give to a shelter doesn't necessary require money, I mean, yea money is great but you can simply be kind to a person, volunteer in a children's shelter.

I have the links in my signature and if anyone wants to advertise or be a feature just message me!

Peace

Johnna
