The Memory Project’s purpose is to connect kids around the world and spread kindness through art. The Memory Project is a nonprofit organization that has been running since 2004. They have helped 250,000 kids around the world by touching their lives with art. Our school is participating in the program for our 9th year. In the past, they have made portraits of kids from Sierra Leone, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Ethiopia, Bolivia, a Syrian Refugee Camp and the Philippines. This year, Mrs. Passetti’s Painting and Drawing and Portfolio Prep students, as well as Mrs. Passetti and Mrs. Pristash, are creating 28 portraits of fourth grade students from Nigeria. These portraits will be mailed out at the end of January and our school will receive a video of the children getting their portraits at around April. It is the best part of the project to many students, to be able to see the kids’ faces as they are given the gifts they worked so hard on. This project is intended to spread intercultural awareness and happiness to youth worldwide.
