Friendship From a Distance

The Young Caucasus Women Project begins its second week. Blogher and mentor Lisa Hinely, writes this introductory post on the topic of "Friendship from a Distance."
She writes not only of geographical distance in miles, but a more
challenging distance to friendship - deep chasm in religious belief,
political affiliation, or personal moral values. This is also a
student post from a student named Leyla.

The project is focused on training these young women in personal citizen
journalism. The students post a minimum of
once a week on an assigned topic. Each
week a blog "mentor" posts early in the week to help inspire the
young women. The mentor is an adult blogger from around the world.

So, take a few minutes to read their work and leave a comment. I've
been told by Katy Pearce, the organizer, that the comments have been
excellent motivators for the girls. Let them know you're listening.
