The Makery Club members were asked to consider their own identity and how they can act as peace-makers in their community and then create a personal piece of art, a self-portrait. The project was run through the organization Students Rebuild “Facing the Difference: challenge. This organization believes in the power of young people to make the world a better place. Each portrait submitted generates funding from the Bezos Family Foundation to support programs run by CARE and  Search for Common Ground, helping youth on different sides of conflict build peace. Our members created 70 self-portraits which will generate $420 for the programs.
