Hello from the East Coast! This month, there are quite a few events going on in Florida that Jedidiah will be involved in. Most are connected with one of our HOPE Partners, and I’d like to highlight these to hopefully get a good Jedidiah following out to support them and what they are doing.
So all of you out there in the Sunshine State LISTEN UP! Here are some of the events that you should check out:
DIA DE LUZ
SATURDAY, April 25th, 6:00pm
DAYTONA BEACH
Our HOPE Partner, Love Light & Melody, a nonprofit organization dedicated to battling the physical, emotional, and spiritual affects of extreme poverty in the trash dump communities of Nicaragua, will be holding an event at the Southeast Museum of Photography, 1200 West International Speedway Blvd. in Daytona Beach. LL&M founder and musician, Brad Corrigan will be putting on a concert with his band, Braddigan in conjunction with the screening of his film, Day of Light.
Jedidiah will be represented, and our LL&M HOPE tees will be on sale. Come support this amazing group and see how they have been reaching out to the people of Nicaragua by watching this awe-inspiring film.

SATURDAY, APRIL 25TH, 3:00pm
TALLAHASSEE, ORLANDO, MIAMI
On April 25th, our HOPE Partner, Invisible Children will unite an international community to deliver the innocent from Kony’s reign and ensure he is brought to justice. Thousands of participants will gather in 100 cities across the world to “abduct themselves” and raise the banner of the child soldiers taken by Joseph Kony. At each event, participants will write letters, create art/photo projects and seek out media attention in an effort to petition the US, European, Canadian, Mexican and Australian government to develop a strategy and support existing efforts to rescue Kony’s child soldiers.
Find out more about this international event at THE RESCUE :: Invisible Children. Sign up to attend, volunteer, or help promote!
So, Floridians, snowbirds, and visitors to our panhandle during this month…come out and say hello, support our HOPE Partners and friends, wear your Jedi threads, and spread the word!
