Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service

& the Celebrate Haiti Poster Project

 

On Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday, January 16, 2012, people from all over the United States came together to participate in service projects.

The Clinton Bush Haiti Fund was asked to honor Dr. King at the Montgomery County Volunteer Fair by inviting children and families to participate in the Celebrate Haiti Poster Project. The objective was to raise awareness for Haiti through art, to remember Haiti at the two year anniversary of the earthquake, and to celebrate the strength and resilience of the Haitian people.

Over 140 children (and a handful of creative adults) drew Helping Handprints that will be used to make a digital quilt. These handprints symbolize that one person can make a difference, but many people working together can create a better future for Haiti.

If you have a group event coming up and would like to incorporate the Celebrate Haiti Poster Project into your calendar, email us at kids@ClintonBushHaitiFund.org to find out how you can participate.
