7. The Cause:Masks That Hide InjusticeUsing masks AS A SYMBOL TO CREATE AWARENESS OF Human trafficking

8.  Do you remember this little nursery rhyme by Jim Brickman? I see the moon the moon sees me.The moon sees the somebody I want to see.So, God bless the moonGod bless me And God bless the somebody I want like to see!

9. Possibilities Masks as an offering at the Communion Table The options are limitless! • QA’s goal to bring understanding of the inhumanity of this issue through creating masks. • Masks hide hurt, sorrow, pain, shame, injustice, and a number of other feelings associated with human slavery.

10. The options are limitless! • This will be a chance for every woman to attempt to bring her own understanding of the heart and soul of those behind the mask of trafficking. • Each mask will have a name and description. • We desire to raise funds and awareness about the issue of Human Trafficking. 

11. QA bags We widely circulated (Cabinet, Website, Regions, Global Ministries) for submissions of bags. We wanted to honor a fair trade - an exchange of goods based on principles of economic and social justice, willing to pay a fair price for all parts. We wanted to bring business to local ethical companies, increasing production and generating jobs.
