March 18th FREEDOM NOW Global Art Exchange & Exhibit!!

March 18th was an amazing day. 43 schools around the globe simultaneously put on art exhibits in 13 different countries! The FREEDOM NOW Global Art Exchange & Exhibit was truly a worldwide movement of awareness, creativity, and solidarity. 

And the exhibit at Guria was a massive success!The walls of our education center in the Varanasi red light area were FILLED with art.

In the early afternoon, Guria was filled with children milling about, looking at the art—our children, children from nearby schools, children from foreign countries whose schools were also participating thousands of miles away.

When the visitors left, our children videochatted with students across the globe in Senegal, Africa at SOS Dakar! The children asked each other questions, sang songs, and swapped some dance moves!

Art really does have the power to transcend borders, and children really do have the power to change the world. Look out for March 18th 2016, because this FREEDOM NOW event will continue each year!

Here's where our schools were in the world!
