Lee's Summit R-7 parent educator creates mural for area Hope House

Jackie Dorweiler, a Lee's Summit R-7 School District parent educator, recently completed a mural decorating the play room at an area Hope House. Working with several other volunteers, she completed the large mural and also gathered books and toys to donate for the toy room.
As a Lee's Summit R-7 parent educator, Ms. Dorweiler visits families who live at the facility, which provides assistance for victims of domestic violence. She noticed that the toy room was somewhat drab and decided to create a mural for one of the walls.
With the help of Kara Holdman, she painted the colorful mural, which features eight children with the words, "Children love the world-Children love each other." In addition, Ms. Dorweiler organized the donated books and toys onto toy shelves, which were constructed by Zachary Manos in 2007 as part of his Eagle Scout project. Zachary is currently a senior at Lee's Summit North High School and son of Belinda Manos, R-7 Parents As Teachers secretary.
Hope House services form a safety net of prevention, education and support for more than 10,000 victims of abuse every year. Residential and outreach services are provided through two secure locations in Independence and Lee’s Summit. The 24-hour hotline for crisis intervention can be reached at 816-461-HOPE (4673) or 816-HOTLINE (468-5463). More information is also available at the website at www.hopehouse.net.
