	es Institute in 2004-05 and has been exhibited in venues statewide. Th

	highlights and increases awareness of humanitarian issues and the cond
	itions with which people throughout the world are suffering—stories 
	told by students right here in our community. It shows that people can
	 move beyond their personal experiences of suffering to contribute gre
	atly to the world through their purposeful lives and belief in a bette
	r tomorrow. About the Students The people in this exhibit are from all
	 corners of the globe. Despite their geographic and cultural differenc
	es\, they have experienced similar emotions and lessons of triumph.  T
	heir stories demonstrate the best and worst behaviors of humanity. Mos
	t have overcome physical abuse\, psychological trauma\, wartime atroci
	ties or other experiences of terror.  The common thread in these stori
	es is an understanding of how their experiences have transformed them 
	in positive ways\, helping them become the incredible people they are 
	today. “It is important that people share their stories so others ca
	n learn.” —Natalie Assing\, a student in this exhibition. A Tribut
