This is the most meaningful, important and valuable project I have ever worked on with my students.

Thanks so much for the opportunity to share our talents with your kids! This is a powerful project and it has spawned a great deal of discussion on poverty, orphans, love, parents, community and responsibility. My students are halfway complete with their portraits and I am amazed at the energy and love they are pouring into them. It is the only way to teach portraiture.

Our students said this was one of the most moving experiences they have ever had, and one that they will always remember about high school.

My students have shared such struggles and successes with their Memory Project portraits! They agree that this experience of compassionate, artistic and personal growth has forever changed them. Several have been inspired to explore new approaches to their portrait, resulting in additional, rich, unique, artworks. They join me in thanking you for this opportunity to celebrate all of the world’s children.
