The Writing Laboratory Project at Chicago’s George Armstrong International Studies Elementary School at 2110 W. Greenleaf Ave., will be busy Nov. 19th as 500 students from 3rd to 5th grade, compete in an essay contest on the topic, “Cha
nging the World One Heart at a Time.” The student essays will address how and why their culture and community will positively change the world today. The winning essays will introduce a new line of dolls to the world. A part of the sale of each doll will go to World Vision, Christian relief and development organization and Playtime Toys, famous for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles figures, and other toys.
The top 45 students will win a doll and the first place winner will receive a set of all 6 Hearts for Hearts Girls dolls. The winners will be announced and dolls will be distributed during a school event on November 19. Playmates Toys, in partnership with World Vision, is launching this new line of 13.5″ multicultural dolls called “Hearts for Hearts Girls.” Chicago is the first test market to offer the dolls ($24.99 each.)
