The Memory Project 2010 a portrait of kindness The Amityville Memorial High School National Art Honor Society Proudly Presents The Memory Project 2010 a portrait of kindness

The Memory Project The Memory Project is a unique initiative in which high school art students create portraits for children in orphanages around the world. To do this, the art students receive pictures of children who are waiting for portraits and then work in their art classrooms to create the portraits. The mission of the project is to inspire youth to care deeply for the well-being of people throughout the world, to be passionate about solving world problems and creating a better society for all. http://www.thememoryproject.org

This Year Thanks to the support of our sponsors we were able to raise enough money to create 15 portraits for children who are currently living in Orphanages in Peru

15 Children.. 15 Sponsors… 15 Artists… 15 beautiful portraits and somehow Something has changed for the better!
