CHRISTINA GARBARINO
South Windsor, CT

Christina worked with a sewing circle group of refugees through the Institute of Community Research in Hartford for her Gold Award project. She taught them about the American craft of quilting and worked to combine their native crafts into a multicultural quilt. The quilt will go on display at various venues across Connecticut. Christina also ran a successful craft supply drive, enabling her to donate sewing and craft supplies to refugees. Christina currently attends South Windsor High School.
