Donations from Canada!


Thanks to the Canada-Connection we were able to provide two hundred children with individual bags and six schools this year with a general amount of school supplies, as well as fourteen of our regular students. It was fun to see all those happy faces! And all thanks to a $500 donation from the Huron students who visited us in 2006 plus an extra $130 from Scott Atchison and family. We also got support from Spain thanks to Mireia Faura who brought us a whole bunch of art supplies, funnily enough (for the insiders) of the brand Milan!

By now, the school year has started and so have our projects. We're up and running again after moving into our new office and opening our store. Now back to classes with our Maya project, our advanced course, our Saturday workshop, baseball and soon a health-art project in three very remote communities. So, busy as ever, but happy!
