Hi everyone,

I work at Breakthrough ( www.breakthrough.tv ), a human rights media nonprofit - we are starting an online street team for youth to get active about human rights, and are looking for a logo for this group. We've started a logo design contest and could really use your help to spread the word. If you or anyone you know may be interested in participating please look over the details, and of course, you can always email me (mika@breakthrough.tv). We really believe in motivating our youth to get involved in human rights awareness so this project is a really important part of our mission. We look forward to your responses.

 
Thanks so much!


Mika
