Project of HOPE
Kerry Bowden and Maureen Cedric
it was in a word WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
It taught me so much.
concept of the project
The first HOPE handprint belongs to Selma David from Djarragun College
The local Win TV crew covered story in last nights news and reporter was wrapped in the idea and concept. The Cairns Post will be running a feature story about myself, HOPE projects and the Global Children's Alliance. As The Cairns Post donated the paper used for the first prints this will be very fitting indeed.
What it showed me was - it's simplicity is the key to it's success, children all ages loved to put their hands on this paper like it was their statement and right too.
If I had asked the children to write about how they felt about Peace, or paint a picture about how they feel about Peace, they would of had to think about it.
This way they didn't think - they just knew and their handprint was their signature on a document which in years to come will be as important or maybe even more important then documents signed by leaders around the world in regards to peace. It also gave them HOPEand time to think about Peace instead of war.
