MEMORY PROJECT - Lincoln Community School



In early November, 2011, Beacon House received a visit from Mrs. Jardin’s eighth-grade art students at Lincoln Community School in Accra.  The class was participating in its own version of the Memory Project.  The Memory Project is a program that allows students to make portraits of children around the world whom have been orphaned, neglected or disadvantaged to inspire caring, global friendship, and a positive sense of self.

Each of Mrs. Jardin’s students was assigned to produce one painting, one drawing and one collage of one of our children.  After the students completed their work they picked their favorite of the three pieces, wrote a message on the back, and gave the artwork to the child.  The students spent 6 weeks working outside of school to complete their projects.

The children at Beacon House were so excited to receive their personal pieces of art.  Each portrait has been held in the classroom for safekeeping so that the children can have them forever.
