In February 2023, Tori went to Kolkata, India where she taught LEGO animation workshops for Children living on the street and slums at "Future Hope".
With the ultimate gratitude to The LEGO Foundation, and James J Norwood and David Pallash Tori was able to deliver over 50kg of LEGO to young people from the streets and slums at Future Hope.
Before Tori arrived, these young people had never seen LEGO before. They had never put two bricks together and didn’t know what it was. They had never animated or used a tablet.
BY the end of Tori's first day at Future Hope, the young people were already becoming master builders- and by the end of the 3rd day, they were animating the incredible creations, stories and characters they had built.
Tori's first illustrated book, "My Mommy The Octopus", written by Wendy and Nonnie Gerber was released February 7th 2023.
