Put Your Hands Up!

A monument is being built to survivors of abuse. The monument is huge standing ten feet tall by thirty feet wide and is covered in the bronze handprints of survivors. On the inside of the monument there is room for one million handprints! So trace the outline of your hand and send it to Reaching Out America! On or around the hand then write a message of how you want the world to be for kids or a message of how you feel about abuse.

When we have a visualization it helps to make something happen. When many people share a visualization, dream or vision it greatly increases the potential of the shared visualization occuring. Each Stand Up For Kids HandPrint inside the "Reaching Out: America" Child Abuse Monument is a visualization of our intent to protect children.

Oh wait! FILL the inside? Oh, I'm sure that would work...sorry, I was thinking it was something that could be WALKED through with the handprints on the walls...*stuffs feet in mouth*

You'd have to cram 208 paper hands within each 6"x6" space that I mentioned. A more realistic number would be around 40,000 paper hands...depending on size and number of doors and windows and such as well...gees, I'm such a geek...

I thought they meant they would fill the inside with the papers. Could that be done?

One million handprints? Sorry, I'm a natural skeptic and that kind of surface area just couldn't yield a million handprints...not even close. a 10x30x30 box would only fit around 4800 handprints (allowing for a 6"x6" space for each hand)...sorry to rain on the parade...
