Year in Review
THANK YOU!
2020 was a wild card. It taught us a lot.
Our theme for this year?
Pandemic or no pandemic, we all have a right to education. Informal learning has become essential, now more than ever. With schools closed, we’re producing materials that can be used at home to make sure everyone has an opportunity to learn.
“We went through the book together…right away, they recognized a bunch of Rohingya things…they got really excited to see their lives in this coloring book.”
— Educator with Rohingya refugees, Texas
“This is the first time I have ever seen my people in cartoon!”
— Rohingya refugee, Wisconsin
“For those who are illiterate, these materials are important because they understood the issues through the pictures.”
— Imam, Rohingya refugee camp
What We Do: Cartoonize Communities
Everyone likes cartoons, especially the ones that look like them. Our learning materials are simple, relatable, and culturally sensitive. This fosters greater engagement.
