Feel the Music! Frog Project

After the great success of the frog project in 2007, families hand-painted a second batch of frogs in 2008. These 'Feel the Music!' frogs will be sent to soldiers in Iraq.

Frog Project History: Thanks to the Feel the Music! 'Frog Project', families who lost a loved one on September 11th hand-painted over one hundred percussion frogs, in the hopes of connecting families in different countries and regions experiencing similar losses and grief. About half of the frogs were sent to "Asociacion 11-M" in Madrid, to be delivered to children affected by the 2004 train bombings. The remaining frogs were sent to childcare centers in New Orleans through "We Care New Orleans". read on
