The portraits that the OHHS Drawing and Printmaking students created were successfully delivered to the children and teens from Syria/Jordan. The people at The Memory Project wanted us to know that the children absolutely loved them and receiving personalized gifts made in their own image was a totally new experience for them, and all the more meaningful considering their current circumstances.

Also, some of the children offered to perform a few songs and dances, to share something of themselves in return, and you can view those here:

The participation fees from all of the schools involved in the Jordan/Syria Memory Project we were able to purchase $5,187 in art supplies for various community centers serving the children in the refugee camp, and we were also able to donate $1,600 to the orphanages.
