Hello Michele I see that you already have a sort of introduction in the first paragraph (the place) So why not jump out and place a proper pitch at the top?
Remember job-hunting rules: you normally have less than 20 secs to grab the attention -and empathy- of the reader.
I would write something like:
“This Evokation consists of a humanitarian project, focusing on philanthropic/work projects for disadvantaged and underserved populations primarily located in Muslim-majority communities.
During the Hajj, Muslims of all races, creeds and politics set aside cultural differences to participate in a pilgrimage of international tolerance and peace. In this spirit, and perhaps scheduled to coincide with the completion of the annual Hajj pilgrimage, the "Hajj for Humanity" program will seek to create neo-lateral (citizen-to-citizen) projects to communicate with community leaders and citizens.
Hajj for Humanity volunteers would then assemble, assist and enable sponsors, trainers and specialists from neighboring and near-by Muslim and non-Muslim communities to confer with local leaders, and work together to train participants to learn specific skills and establish holistic and sustainable solutions to prioritized challenges”
I would put everything in larger font, soecially the intro, and also highlight in bold the most important words or ideas.
I will keep my comment about the burka for myself ;-)
> About: “The Place” where Hajj for Humanity will operate is anywhere Bottom-of-the-Pyramid, or at-risk communities face challenges to what the U.N. called “universal” human rights----I would add: does the organization have headquaerters? Where? In US, is my guess.
> If you have something palpable already, it would be a good idea to tell, and if you have a group of volunteers or employees it would also be a good idea to say.
> My guess is that the WBI is eager to help projects which look like they only need the final push to launch.

@ ternura, thank you for your input. I will edit in as soon as return from school. @ Bongamusa, hi, great to see you!!! Please clarify "approach plan" -- do you mean initial country/community of activity? I have several in mind, but have found that forming the foundation necessary for Hajj for Humanity is such a large task (beyond the simple step of forming a 501C, housing at least the headquarters in the US, where I am), that I actually want to wait until I have a fully functional Board in place before choosing a site. Especially since most of Hajj for Humanity activities will involve at least 2 nations. I would appreciate any additional input; for example, if you have a key community in mind, i would be glad to include it in the planning doc**entation.
thank you all for your inputs. good evoking

perhaps you can convince some mullas, muftis, or sheikhs to issue a fatwa calling for citizens to embark on a Hajj for Humanity. in these cultures such an endorsement would be a very big deal.

@ternura, yes, I will be around on weekend as possible to work on this and comment/assist with others' posts... @cameron, i appreciate your input. I do hope to receive support of this type, and am exploring options available in this direction... It could make a huge difference. thank you all very much for your replies.

The food actually tasted fresher than in the past and was easy to keep fueled.Dad was very proud of the solar hybrid…See More
Stinging Nettle
In this blog post I will focus on a plant that is abundant in our nature, and which is immensely nutritious. It's of course the Stinging Nettle. Let's start with the chemical constituents of this plant:37 % Non-Nitrogen-Extracts19 - 29 % Ash9 - 21 % Fiber4 % Fat22 % ProteinOnce the leaves are drid, their protein content can reach an astounding 40 %, which is much higher than beef, which even under the best of circ**stances can never exceed 31 % protein. In addition the Stinging Nettle consists…See More

Future
FutureToday is 2020/1/1. It is just like yesterday. The war is still continuing. It has started since 2010. In 2010, that year was a horrible year. Almost every energy ran out. Every country’s governments were crushed down at the same time. There were riots everywhere. All of the big company’s bosses were killed xdeadx in the riots. Troops fought each other everywhere. Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More
public servants
The exchange works directly for state and public workers and servants. It gives them credit in exchange for the amount of public work they contribute to the community. The more constructive they are based off a base rate the more credit they recieve.
