The Hope's Hearts Project was started in collaboration with the John Michael Kohler Arts Center in June 2017 and has organically grown into mobile workshops. This art project was created to bring hope and encouragement, while distributing helpful crisis resources into the community to prevent human trafficking. We've introduced wooden chimes into the project, extending its reach to local high schools, prisons, private events, and community organizations. This innovative approach serves as a powerful catalyst for initiating conversations about human trafficking and mobilizing our community to combat it wholeheartedly.
Once completed, the chimes are displayed around our city and county, to shed light on the crisis and offer hope to the most vulnerable. This collaborative effort not only raises awareness but also serves as a beacon of support for those who need it most.
The five words of encouragement are:
Hope - courage to keep moving forward
Courage - strength to make the journey
Strength - inner power to withstand whatever comes
Faith - wings and sail of our dreams
Wisdom - guardian of our choices
Together we can encourage and strengthen our community while preventing human trafficking!
Windchimes made by the art students of Sheboygan Central High School 2023
