Over a year has gone by since the students of Burlington High School worked collaboratively to create a symbol, an image, which would act as a beacon of safety for refugees, immigrants and asylum seekers. Our image can now be seen on many doctors’ lanyards, office buildings, schools, and businesses.
Growing a movement while learning fulltime has not been easy for our group. Our day-to-day is so busy, that finding ways to spread our image becomes a challenge. We had to refocus this year as many of the students involved last year moved on to college. We are so proud of them!
Next steps – How do we get our message to college campuses? How do we get our message to elementary and middle schools? This will be our focus for the month of March.
And as always you, reader, can support our goals by purchasing merchandise at Etsy
