Layering the Life Book
Project Jericho extended the Life Book program for the first time this July, to Layer the Life Books of previous participants. Artist Kristi Limes developed layers to the traditional Life Book pages such as the Mask page and the I Am page, so that youth who have existing Life Books can update their progress and revisit their lives through watercolor and creative writing. New pages included a Reflection Page, a Family Tree, and a Music Page. Nine foster children attended the five-day camp at the Clark State PAC, meeting from 9:00am to 10:00 pm from July 26th-Aug 1, 2007 the camp culminated in an extremely well-attended final presentation where each youth spoke about the process of Layering a Life Book. Project Jericho will also hold a traditional Life Book camp for foster children in spring 2008.
