The Doll Project
Here's an inspired pilot program we support: The Doll
Project is a Barbie makeover program designed to promote
girls' self exploration and self expression.
Under the guidance of The Doll Project creator, Denise
DiJoseph, girls will have the opportunity to use art materials
to recreate donated Barbie dolls in a way that reflects
who they are.
Denise, an artist and concerned activist, says The Doll
Project is "an empowerment program to show the girls
how to be uniquely individual and not a carbon copy of
the idealistic image."
Her first programs in September '08 will be offered free
to girls in homeless shelters.
