The Memory Project2010

a portrait of kindness

The Amityville Memorial High School National Art Honor Society Proudly

Presents

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 Memory Project

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.
