Tree of Hope at Safe Haven Park

Collaboration is huge in the real world and is huge in my healthcare studio. Our professor is treating us as if we were her employees to prepare us for what is to come upon graduation. I have to admit i LOVE it. Our first project was a collaborative effort of myself and 2 other group members to submit an entry to the IDEC international student competition. The premise of the competition was to research a need of The Lost Generation (children who's parents lives were taken away from the AIDS epidemic in South Africa) and find a need to address. My group found the children lacked a childhood. Therefore, we created the Tree of Hope at Safe Haven Park, a community gathering place where children can let loose, have fun, and interact with their peers. Below are our 3 project boards!
