We've been busy talking to the media. The Seattle Times wrote an article giving some background to our story and covering our art workshop at the street fair last weekend. You can read it here. Marcus Yam from the Times took this lovely photo of Racha Haroun writing "You are in our hearts from Seattle" on the back of her son's drawing. Jean will take these notes to Jordan to read to the refugee kids so that they know we are thinking about them and sending as much help as we can.
And our local NBC affiliate King 5 News interviewed Jean in her studio about why taking art and educational supplies to the Syrian children is so important. You can see the clip here.
We led the news last night here in Seattle so congratulations to everyone who supports us for helping to get the word out. The people of Syria need our help. Please remind your friends that they can donate for Jean's upcoming trip on the Studio Syria website. Let's send her to Zaatari refugee camp with wonderful school supplies to make those children smile.
