The organization currently works on building an orphanage in central China, 6,000 LEGO blocks play a crucial role in the fight to get the project financially in place.

Over the next six months Morning Tears will be selling LEGO blocks and using them to build a complete model of the building that will house the children. Every time a LEGO block is sold, it will be added to the model that will be built during the World Expo as a symbol of the process of collecting money for the construction of the real orphanage building.

The project began on the first of June and runs until late October. During the whole period you can follow the development of building a model of the orphanage in the Nordic Lighthouse in Shanghai, which frames a series of exhibitions on Nordic lifestyle and innovation.

The LEGO bricks cost 50 euros per piece, and it is possible for donors to equip them with their name and logo.
