JUSTICE: Sharing Safety: THANK YOU, KATIE

THANK YOU, KATIE

By our third board meeting, we had a mission: create fire-safety one-pagers for students studying abroad.

Question: How could we condense all of this important, life-saving information into one, easily-readable page?

Answer: With the help of a brilliant designer, Katie Sadow.

Now the one-pagers are done and we are ready to start our campaign to make study abroad orientations fire-safety conscious.

Below is the U.S.A. fire safety sheet, but please go look at other countries and the generic study-abroad sheet by clicking around on Sarah's beautiful emergency number poster.

We couldn't have done it without you, Katie. Thank you for your hard work and dedication to JUSTICE.

Our Mission

On April 14, 2011, a devastating fire overtook a building in the Ménilmontant neighborhood of Paris's 20th arrondissement, taking the lives of four ambitious students studying from around the world: Jasmine Jahanshahi, Louise Brown, Lise Aseberg and Felicia Bolm. The fire spread quickly, and without the warning of an alarm or a smoke detector or the safe passage of a fire escape, the students fell to their death. Another international student, Grace Flott, was seriously injured.

Unfortunately, tragic apartment fires are not uncommon in neighborhoods like Ménilmontant- congested urban corridors mostly populated by lower-income residents such as students and immigrants living in century-old wooden structures with little or no fire safety regulations. Such fires present a major risk to American students studying abroad who are accustomed to stricter fire regulations.

Fortunately, the tools required to safely escape a fire are even more accessible and affordable with improved technology. Jasmine's family and friends established JUSTICE in her memory so that we can distribute fire escape ladders, smoke detectors, and fire prevention education to neighborhoods worldwide!
