Gather the Women Global Matrix
	SISTER SPACE

My name is Annie Tanner. I am currently (summer 2009) working as a volunteer for the Collateral Repair Project, a small non-profit which is working with displaced Iraqi refugees. My friends Sasha Crow and Mary Madsen started this project after the U.S. began the bombing of Iraq in 2003.

Sasha and I are in Amman, Jordan, now. There are 500,000 Iraqi refugees here, all on the run for their lives. Jordan graciously hosts them, along with millions of other refugees (Palestinian, Somali, Sudanese). The Iraqi families can BE here, but they cannot legally work here. It is a life in Limbo. We go from one family to another, helping in small ways (emergency assistance, food, clothing), both tangible and intangible. Hope is SOMETHING. Shared grief is lessened sadness for each. Please see Collateral Repair Project site for a ton of information about the plight of these forgotten people. See how YOU can help: http://www.collateralrepairproject.org

FEEL FREE to "friend" me on Facebook. I'd love to hear from you!

I am a musician, mother, in-home healthcare worker. I love people of all ages, from babies, to teenagers, to old ones. It Is Time for me to connect with all of you. I am delighted to be a part of this gathering of women on this roundish ball we all call home.
