Promise Never To Untie

by Hope Submitted by: Synovia Dover-Harris
	The tender words are spoken Each body and soul bared Told secrets over endless days Often doing more than dared New world beyond my door With intrigued and intensity Now we have shared our hearts A bond now made it permanently Facing our days made easier Despite any type of weather Each other's heart felt deeply Both happy we stuck together It took us little time and effort The bonding as strong as glue I now promise never to untie The strings I have tied with you The understanding of each other Breaths to take, we breathe the air As the relationship interchanges Knowing our loving hearts are there Now we are never left on the outside Lovingly enter each others domain Smiling. laughing and forever teasing But forever friends we then became.

RAINN DAY: Speak OUT and Short Film Viewing

What Is RAINN?
RAINN (Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network) operates the National Sexual Assault Hotlines, providing a lifeline to those who have been affected by sexual violence. Since 1994, RAINN has provided free, confidential, help 24/7 to over 1.4 million people through the telephone hotline (800.656.HOPE) and the Online Hotline available at online.rainn.org. In addition to directly supporting survivors, RAINN has led national efforts in the fight against sexual violence in the U.S. by educating the public about prevention and recovery, and championing national efforts to improve services to victims.

What Is RAINN Day?
RAINN Day is RAINN’s annual campaign to raise awareness and fight against sexual violence on college campuses. Each year, RAINN Day reaches over 1,000,000 students in all 50 states, DC, Puerto Rico, and Canada with information on how to reduce the risk of sexual violence and what to do if they or a friend have been assaulted. Students and volunteers raise awareness through educational events, volunteer drives, speakers, petitions, posters, and passing out RAINN Day cards and other handouts.

Sisters Striving for Excellence, Inc. has partnered with RAINN to promote the public awareness of the issue to Savannah State University. We will be hosting a Speak Out along with the viewing of a short film. Be sure to join us and support the cause.

Have you or someone you know been sexually assaulted? You are not alone! Join the fight against sexual violence by participating in RAINN Day 2011!
