The project’s goal is to facilitate the healing process of those people – children and adults - whose lives were tragically affected by the events of September 11, 2001. All camps (whether completed, in progress, or planned) serve people and their families who have either:

• lost a spouse, or parent, or child, or sibling, or another close family member;
• been physically injured, disabled, and/or emotionally traumatized by the attacks; 
• lost their jobs in the towers that came down or the immediate environment.

Through FAF’s unique approach focusing on arts and a structured exposure to cultural diversity, the programs have allowed participants release grief and the feeling of loss, and to empower them to go on with their lives.
