Ben Schumaker arrived here in Cuernavaca on Thursday evening. Ben runs a nonprofit called The Memory Project. The website is www.thememoryproject.org and here is a quote about his organization.
"The Memory Project is a unique initiative in which art students create portraits (drawings, paintings, graphic design, etc) for children and teens around the world who have been orphaned, neglected, or disadvantaged.
To do this, the artists receive photos of kids waiting for portraits and then work from those photos to create the portraits. Next, we deliver the portraits to the kids as special gifts, and we also take photos of them holding the portraits.
The goal of the project is to inspire caring, global friendship, and a positive sense of self."
