Memory Portraits - Take 2!
The women of (no name) Art Group create portraits for disabled women living in Vietnam.

Purpose Of Our Memory Portraits The purpose of our project was to create an original portrait for a disabled woman living in Vietnam. Similar to the orphaned children of Uganda (See Memory Portratis 2007), many disabled adults living in Vietnam have faced incredible challenges throughout their lives. These memory portraits not only help honor their heritage and identity, but provide the women with a sense of support from other women around the world. Our portraits were hand-delivered in September 2008

The Women's Workshop In Hoi An, Vietnam The women chosen are part of a special program initiated by Lifestart Foundation. In March 2008, Sherry Berger had the special opportunity to work with these women... "My main assignment here in Hoi An is running a workshop for some of our gals in the disabled group (aka the Sweethearts). Our goal is to make a small product line of arts/crafts to eventually be sold online. Giving them the ability and skills to create a small range of quality crafts, we hope to provide them with a sustainable income, increased self-confidence and independence in their lives."

The concept of Memory Portraits was founded by Ben Schumaker of Wisconsin. Please visit www.thememoryproject.org.
