April flew by with so much going on at AMP—blues musician Eric Bibb, pianist Mike Ford, and another great Family Day and Teen Art Studio.
In the meantime, 100 kids in ten Connecticut schools are wrapping up their seven months of work on the Regeneration Project. Since January, I have been sharing photos of their work with Regeneration author Paul Hawken. He has become increasingly drawn in and moved by what is happening on the project. Last week, in the middle of a zillion book signing commitments with his publisher, Paul booked his flight from San Francisco to Connecticut to visit AMP.
This is a phenomenal moment for the American Mural Project. Paul is giving two talks during his one-day visit. He wants to meet all the students on the Regeneration Project, their families and their teachers on Saturday afternoon. Later, he plans to discuss his most recent work and sign his new book Carbon for guests attending the evening session. If you have any concerns about our next steps in saving this planet, you will never be closer to anyone who has more knowledge and experience than Paul. He has spent his lifetime giving lectures, writing about and working with leaders in the climate field all around the globe.
And we can thank all these creative kids for the exceptional work they have done. They are the reason Paul Hawken is coming to AMP.
