1/4 Project
1/4 profits, 1/4 of the year
Eye See Media gives 25% of all profits each quarter to a specific cause.
In response to World Water Day (March 22nd) Eye See Media 1/4 Project is to help fund wells in Tushile, Kosovo with Water for Life - waterforlife.org.
From Water for Life: "If you want to emphasize a particular project for the next few months, it would be the Kosovo project. We are at a point where the village (Tushile) has formed a Water Committee and come up with a four stage plan. The first stage is to cover all of the 105 open wells in the village and install electric pumps (this is to minimize outside contamination, enable them to pipe water into their houses, and be protected from freezing during the winter.) We have priced this out, and each well project will cost $350. This summer, about 20 families are ready to go ahead with this job, and we have trained workers committed to help them with this from June to December. It is the village's initiative and responsibility. They are also committing to paying 10% of the cost, and they have formed a little bank to save the money needed . . . Everything else is in place for the summer, all it needs is the finances."
topics
Social Justice
Poverty, War, Oppression, Imprisonment - the list goes on. Unfortunately the side of the story we don't hear is often the most important, the story of the persons involved. Our Social Justice Section will explore the core of Justice with in-depth, well-thought and well-researched pieces exploring the human side of lifes justice issues.
Environment
Strides in all areas of society to protect and reestablish a healthy environment are inspiring. Businesses going truly 'green', schools using solar power, urban gardens providing for a metropolis - each individual chooses how to engage the environment. Tips, stories, photos, information and easy ways to improve your own surroundings will make up our Enviromental Section.
Personal Story
Who is changing the world? Who is giving time to others? Who is working in the midst of injustice and inspiring people? We want to hear these stories and share them with our readers. The human ability to triumph will be the highlight of the Personal Story Section of Eye See Magazine. Sample topics: International adoption, starting over, fighting for what is right and any story of overcoming hardship.
Culture
What do you do in your spare time? Who do you look up to? The Culture Section will explore what makes your community unique - share and read wisdom, insight and humor to expand understanding. Sample topics: Immigrants and Ex-pats, Food, Festivals and Celebrations, Cultural Norms, and Cross-cultural communication.

Into the Mud: Inspiration for Everyday Activists
By: Christine Jeske
Excerpt and Interview in January 2010 Issue!
Into The Mud takes readers behind the headlines, into real stories of real people living neck-deep in some of Africas most difficult issues but with hands, minds, and hearts rooted in Gods kingdom. Each of its interwoven stories and related discussion questions addresses a broader issue of missions and development, including: evangelism, literacy and education, microfinance, health services, urbanization and refugee assistance, and more. Reflection questions at the end of each chapter help readers to apply lessons from the chapters to their own ministry contexts.
Where the world sees despair, author Christine Jeske sees God writing stories of hope. Study groups, development students, mission teams, and everyday activists alike will be challenged by her stories to enter more deeply into the thick of lifes mud.
