Project Hello

11/18/05
. (Press Release) [Not music related but should be of interest to some]In an effort to give homeless individuals names and put the growing homeless issue in the face of the public and politicians, more than 5,000 "Hello My Name Is..." oversized nametags/signs are being distributed around the world to those living on the streets. Holding a sign with their own handwritten name, the individuals are being photographed for projecthello.org, an upcoming free book, a series of PSAs, and a traveling photo exhibition.

Project Hello aims to build awareness of the world's growing homeless problem; to create discussion and a platform for solutions; to give homeless individuals a name, and in the process, encourage others to treat them with dignity, respect, and compassion; to use mass communication and problem-solving skills for the forces of good; and to inspire and assist others in creating more selfless, random acts of kindness.

Since its inception in LA in 2003, Project Hello has quickly developed into an international project. To this date, 3,500 signs have been distributed throughout 20 countries to over 70 photographers, resulting in over 700 images from around the world.
