Memory Portraits
35 artists create 35 portraits for orphaned children living in El-Shadai Foster Home in Uganda, Africa

NON-PROFIT BENEFICIARY: THE CHILDREN OF EL-SHADAI (Uganda)

Purpose of Memory Portraits
"To create an original portrait for a child living as an orphan around the world. Given that children who have been abandoned, neglected, abused, or orphaned usually have few personal keepsakes, the purpose of the portraits is to provide them with a special memory of their youth and to help honor their heritage and identity." — Ben Schumaker, www.thememoryproject.org

The "Memory Portraits" were on display before being sent to El-Shadai Foster Home. Also on display were handmade baskets and batiks made by the children and available for a small donation. 100% of the donations were givento the children to help aid in education, medical and living costs for El-Shadai.
