My name is Johnna and I am the founder of Art4TheHomeless, an organization set up through Ning that unites artists around the world to promote homeless awarness in the US--or thats how it started out :)
Now the main focus is on helping our own communities wherever we may be located.
Art4TH is in the process of becoming a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and has helped several artists get their art out there and has also helped a few homeless shelters and organizations along the way.
Here's a video for you to watch about Art4TH

Yes I have been to your group and see Paola is a member. I have one of her great photos in my living room. And I know Juliana from here as well. You are doing a great job with your group for a very important cause.
Welcome to Creative Cafe. Your group looks very interesting and I will sign up even though I am in the UK. Over here homelessness is a big problem as well and as we are a group supporting people with mental health disabilities it is espeially worrying that a high percentage of rough sleepers have a psychiatric diagnosis.
Anyway it is quite easy to do things on this site like change your page theme and add photos, videos, music, write blogs. The latest 10 members blogs are featured on the Main page and so are some of the photos. You can also start and join in groups and discussions and make new friends.
So if you want any help with anything just ask and I will hope to catch up and get to know you better soon.
Bye for Now
