..Osborn Elementary School students from Rye, NY, USA, created friendship bracelets, “loveys,” which are small blanket squares, and hand written notes to send to Dominican students at the Marino Caraballo Rodriguez School. Touched by the gesture of goodwill, the students at the Marino Caraballo Rodriguez School worked on bracelets to return to the kids in the United States.
.* While most of the handmade gifts and notes were sent from Osborn Elementary School kids, enthusiastic Rye Middle School and Rye High School kids who heard about the project also voluntarily contributed letters and bracelets for the exchange.

.Fundación Luz Maccene School (FLMACS) is a nonprofit educational institution for Haitian orphans living in the Dominican Republic. While the school focuses on core academic classes and job skills, rather than art, they would like to find ways to partner with Big Picture Foundation. The school will try to give kids cameras and encourage them to take photos of the world around them. As a first global collaboration, Director Maceene has asked if our Rye, NY homebase kids could help the Fundación Luz Maccene School build a website.
