One month before the workshop with Hanoch Piven, the staff began creating buzz about the project-talking about Piven and sharing his website with participating families. Isaura, mother of 5-year-old Eduardo, created a one page flyer to ask families to help us collect materials such as buttons, screws, and hairpins her English. Families donated items to the center over the course of several weeks, and the center supplemented the materials with more recyclables and art supplies.
