We need your help! Oakland International High School's art teacher Thi Bui and her art class students recently completed a very exciting project: they wrote and drew comics about their experiences as immigrants. They are planning to publish The "best of" book titled WE ARE OAKLAND INTERNATIONAL containing the very best student comics from the last four years.
The students will enjoy an official book launch and see their book join the history collection at the main Oakland Public Library on February 23, 2012. All printing will be done at a local printer and all book sales will go directly to the school to continue project-based learning like this one.
They have until February 1, 2012 to raise the $1600 required to print enough copies of the book and buy art supplies. They are more than half way...
Please consider making a donation to help these students reach their goal. ($30 will get you a copy of WE ARE OAKLAND INTERNATIONAL. There are multiple levels of contributions).
