Amidst the barrage of media regarding relations between Iran and the West, namely over the rights to nuclear power, the real losers are the ones caught in the middle of this conflict: the people of Iran. Today, Iran suffers from widespread poverty, with a large portion of the population being children. Children are not afforded adequate access to healthcare, let alone basic needs like food and shelter. 

Nader Pasha Farzan and Nolan Hamid Gaudreau decided to develop a project where, within their own means, could support these Iranian youth. Throughout history, Iranian women have been highly regarded in terms of their beauty. As visual artists, they decided to channel this beauty into their project in benefit of young Iranian cancer patients. Their goal is to create a large, coffee-table book featuring their original photography.

The photography will be comprised of beautiful Iranian women in artistic and classy themes. The photography in the book will be complimented by classical poetry by Rumi. All proceeds from this book will be donated to a charity benefiting the children of Iran who suffer from cancer (TBD).
