New Humanitarian Media Foundation (HMF) Website Launched

[Humanitarian Media Foundation (HMF)]

May 15, 2008

From Co-Founder/Board Chairman, The Humanitarian Media Foundation (HMF),
K.J. Wetherholt

Dear Friends on HumanitarianPeople.org,

As of last evening at 9:05 PM EDT, the HMF launched the new version of the HMF website: http://www.humanitarianmedia.org.

We will continue to add further information and resources and facilitate interactive features over the coming days---but in the interim, the new website includes the ability to become a member of the site, have your own member page, participate in blogs and forums, and submit photographs, PSA's, film clips and trailers, art, and articles--and otherwise participate in the HMF and its mission.

It is our hope that the new site will facilitate networking among all crucial parties involved in and interested in humanitarian subject matter and its coverage -- filmmakers (narrative and documentary), writers, journalists, artists, photographers, international NGO's and aid agencies, figures in international philanthropy, and those involved in international policy--among, too, and as importantly--members of the public--to better disseminate information and forge partnerships among parties.

As time goes on, we will continue adding information, features, and announcements--including about the 2008 HMF International Film/Media Festival & Conference--as each becomes available.

We will also be accepting material to feature on the site from filmmakers and associated film companies and studios, journalists, photographers, wire agencies, policy organizations, etc., for humanitarian-related material. To feature such material on the site, please contact [e-mail]. We will also feature ads or promotional material for relevant projects, so please contact us at the same address should you have something of interest to promote which fits within humanitarian parameters.

In the interim, too, we invite you to sign up for announcements, which includes HMF news, press releases, bulletins, important new blog entries via the subscription form. An e-mail form is featured in the upper right hand corner of the site.

In the meantime, we warmly welcome your presence and participation--and we thank you for being involved with the HMF and its mission.

With warmest regards,

K.J. Wetherholt
Co-Founder / Board Chairman
The Humanitarian Media Foundation (HMF)


P.S. For those whom I haven't been able to get back to for a while--please know I will be in touch soon--it has been a rather wild time both before and just following launch! ;)

Where was America and the World while these abused children were dying?

What would you do?

Sugar and spice and everything nice.

This is suppose to every little girls life.

What happens when life is not like that?

What if your life is filled with constant abuse by the people who suppose to protect you?

For little Katelynn of Indiana, her life is filled with this from a father, stepmother and father's family; everyone but her the relatives that love her have been deined the ability to see her.

What happens when the police will not stop this?

Than try Child Protection Service, but they will not stop this either.

The next thing to do is go to the court.

What would you do if the Child Protection Services and the court helped the abusers hurt her?

The media might work but they ignore majority of average people.

In this search for help, several politicians ignored or said stop bothering them.

If these people will not help little katelynn of Indiana than who will?

Will this little girl have to pay the ultimate price for these adults mistakes?

Now...., what WILL you do?!

This is Indiana's Shame and these are Teardrops for Katelynn
