Event Overview
We had the lucky chance to collaborate with Goodwill, a well-known NPO that has been working for and with disabled individuals for over 100 years.
We decided to donate 160 Amigurumi dolls created by artists from all over the world to the kids of PS 149 in Jackson Heights, Queens.
These Amigurumi was donated by participated artists from the World Amigurumi Exhibition vo;.2 in 2015.

We would also like to give a warm thanks to the school staff at PS 149 and the talented artists who donated their amigurumi pieces.
