Chalk on the Walk, Biddeford, ME
The Chalk on the Walk is a community event run by the Heart of Biddeford. Coastal Healthy Communities Coalition will have a table set up so kids attending the event can participate in the Fundred Project and their parents can learn more about lead poisoning prevention. This Fundred event is organized by Megan Rochelo, Maine State Representative, Professor at the University of New England, and Director of the Coastal Healthy Communities Coalition.
The Fundred project was created by artist Mel Chin as a creative solution to eliminate the devastating effects of lead-contaminated soil that currently place children at risk for severe learning disabilities and behavioral problems.
