Postcard Project

"We are more alike, than unalike." from Maya Angelou's poem Human Family.

These words are the essence of one of the State College High School's Art projects..... to share inspirational postcards. 60 high school students made amazing prices of art that reflect their dreams and wishes. I will take them to Rwanda to share with our 4th and 5th graders to inspire them to make postcards for me to bring back to the high school students. Building relationship!!

The State High students learned about the 1994 genocide and how communities and the entire country suffered. The country has been rebuilding since then. Hope Made Real has also been helping to rebuild by establishing schools, a water filtration system, children's home, programs for women and much more.

Maure Irwin-Furmanek, the high school art teacher shared, "Our hope is that State College High School students can contribute to the continuation of rebuilding the community.

This is one of several projects State High has launched. Watch for upcoming stories!!!
