SPEAK Initiative is grateful to collaborate with The Butterfly Project and our dedicated friends for the 2nd Annual "Holiday Love Writing Campaign" through the transformative act of community support letter writing.
This year's theme is "Never Forgotten”, focusing on bringing comfort and joy to the elderly in acute, assisted, or nursing home care, supporting their mental well-being not only during the holiday season but also beyond. Additionally, we aim to extend our love and encouragement to children who may be facing illness, experiencing migratory transitions, or grappling with social and political injustices.
The Butterfly Project is driven by a commitment to community collaboration and has embarked on a journey to foster connections and channel creativity through letter writing. This endeavor is a testament to their belief in working "with the community for the community," a beautiful expression of giving back the love that helps lift the Butterflies' wings even in their darkest hours.
For more information about this impactful program or to learn more about The Butterfly Project connect directly here. Keep an eye out for announcements regarding virtual and in-person Writing Circles where we can collectively make a meaningful impact through the power of words."
