PROJECT #6
As tragic and troubling the COVID-19 pandemic has left the world, it also, in a very strange way has brought us together to share in our care for humanity. 
Sometimes the gesture of caring shows through people in teaching others about their expertise of many things, as well as simply sharing their passions with those who will take the time to listen.  
Project #6 embraces this notion fully!
