The HOPE Card Project

SCBWI Australia and New Zealand have organized a project where they're asking SCBWI chapters to each make one card for the children and schools of Australia to show the support and care of children's authors and illustrators from all over the world.

As schools are rebuilt and restored (several of which were completely destroyed), and children and families return, they will send each school a special card from one chapter to be displayed, together with a bound copy of all the cards. It will be a lasting expression of hope to these children.
