Remembering the Forgotten
The word “anonymous” means that someone is not being identified by name. That may be because the person has been forgotten by his or her community.

This story is about an artist who seeks to bring people back from anonymity.
What is it that removes people from a larger community, even though they still live within that community? Can you come up with reasons that people become, in a sense, forgotten?
What can you and your friends do to help people reconnect with their communities?
