Donantes de Todo Corazon


November 20, 2009
This is a great initiative to educate the public of the dire need for organ donations in all of Chile.  The Las Condes neighborhood (aka - barrio) organized "Donantes de Todo Corazon" and gathered local businesses/artists  to sponsor/paint these hearts which were located in high traffic areas throughout the barrio.  I found this exhibit very beautiful with all of its vibrant colors and it even came to life at night with strategically placed spot lights.  It incorporated well with the newly constructed Las Condes municipal building catching the eye of wallstreet type businessmen and urban hipsters, drawing them in to the open atrium. The barrio's attempt to publicly inform their residents about organ donations is noble and I personally am excited as my uncle was a fortunate recipient of a new heart in 2003.
