The elephant: A reminder of ancestry, roots and hope for the future ...

Jean Johnson and her art students designed a magnificent, unforgettable, elephant as their senior project for Haiti Relief 2010: it was available for purchase by placing a bid into a silent auction container.

You can see the elephant at The Langosta Lounge 1200 Ocean Avenue in Asbury Park. There, you can stroll around the well balanced plaster-of-paris elephant and see its folds and its proud head. The elephant's trunk reaches all the way to Haiti, on behalf of the Asbury Park High School kids who made it, and all of those here, who wish them well.
