The portraits help the children feel valued, show them that many people care about their well-being, and provide them with a special childhood memory for the future. Despite limitations due to the pandemic, Carmel students worked together to achieve a project that promotes kindness, international friendship, and care on a pure humanto-human level.

Carmel students in Drawing and Painting Honors partnered with The Memory Project to create portraits for youth who have faced substantial challenges, including neglect, abuse, loss of parents, and poverty and homelessness. These children have few special belongings to help capture their life stories. Carmel students focused on children of the Syrian refugee crisis, creating portraits during the Fall 2020 semester.
