In April, Mosaic Georgia is participating in the national Pinwheels for Prevention campaign. By planting “Pinwheel Gardens” in various childcare centers in Gwinnett County, we can all help generate awareness of this visual reminder that we each play a role in ensuring happiness and health for all children. Since 2008, Pinwheels for Prevention® Gardens have been raising awareness and financial support for policies and programs that enable children, families, and communities to thrive.
The Clothesline Project will be presented in the month of April at The Gwinnett Justice and Administration Center. This project started in 1990 in Cape Cod to bring awareness to interpersonal violence. Survivors of sexual assault, child abuse, and domestic violence create T-shirts with short messages, each color representing something different, to hang on a clothesline to honor themselves and other victims of abuse. It’s a way to educate the community about what goes in in their own neighborhoods and bring awareness to these issues.
