Middle School Art Club Participates in the Memory Project

I learned about the Memory Project while at a summer Art Educators' Conference. The organization provides photos of young refugee children for students to create realistic portraits and then returns them back to these children who have nothing much of their own. This felt like a huge responsibility for my students who took this challenge very seriously but they didn't give up. The charity sent us a video of the recipients-Rohingyan refugees who are now living in displacement camps in Bangladesh who now have a tangible image from their childhood.
