Burma: It Can't Wait - Day 12

Graffiti artists paint a portrait of hope in the image of Aung San Suu Kyi, the world's only imprisoned Nobel Prize winner, in day 12 of the Burma, It Can't Wait campaign. This month long program of 30 PSAs aims to raise awareness on the human rights abuses of the military regime in Burma.

SociGraff

SociGraff is a twofold project designed for urban youth, combining community contribution and artistic expression. The project should take place over the course of one academic year through weekly after school meetings, and is intended for about 20 students in their junior year of high school. By combining two seemingly unrelated forms of community involvement: legal and artistic, SociGraff will teach students teamwork and empower them with the self-esteem that they can make lasting differences in their communities.

Graffiti Clean Up

The Junior Civitan Clubs of South Carolina will all get together in Columbia in January 2008 to begin cleaning up graffiti from public places. Graffiti depreciates the value of the community. By cleaning up the graffiti off of the walls and buildings of the city, the value will go back up. People will want to be out and about, and be able to look at scenery that is pretty. Without graffiti all over the place, they can feel safer and want to be outside. Cleaning the graffiti will also help people have more pride in where they live.
