PAPER DOLLS CAN CHANGE THE WORLD, TOO
Changing The Face of Beauty is a campaign to encourage companies to use individuals with disabilities in advertising campaigns. One of the companies has created a set of paper dolls that has a set crutches to encourage the inclusion of individuals with disabilities. One sheet of beautiful paper dolls will open minds, educate our future and change the world.
