Art Workshop for Victims of Hurricane MariaWe were able to provide donations and hold an art workshop for children in Puerto Rico in areas that
suffered serious damages by Hurricane Maria. In September, 2017 many Caribbean Islands wereimpacted by Hurricane Maria. More than 4,600 people lost their lives. 1/3 of the deaths were caused by
the interruption of medical practices due to loss of electricity and damages.
Although many of the affected people are gradually working their way back to normality, there is still
an absence of electricity in mountainous regions, and frequent power failures in major cities.
Partnered with the Boys and Girls Club, and a local hospital in Puerto Rico, we jointly held an art
workshop for children affected by Hurricane Maria. They were also able to receive donated art
supplies and clothes.
According to a survey on the people of Puerto Rico, conducted by Harvard University, the mortality
rate had increased by 60% within 3 months after Hurricane Maria. They concluded that victims did notreceive enough support to weather the serious damages caused by the Hurricane.
