Past Online Vigils Make Way for the Future
Project for Healing Humanity and founder Fernanda Mejia Varnamkhasti began online vigils to promote unity and healing for victims of abuse and their families in early 2012. In cooperation with technical and leadership help from Blair Corbett and Ark of Hope for Children, PfHH hosted all of the following original live vigils using Google+ Live Hangouts. PfHH has handed off future vigils for survivors of abuse to Ark of Hope for Children due to our passionate service to and for survivors of abuse through RemovingChains.org and our UnChained Project.
Ark of Hope for Children will continue the work begun by the vigils as part of our global UnChained Project. Plans are in the works for live and online vigils as well as interviews and more.
