I received an update from Patterson on the art class. The class is in full swing in the neighborhood and open, free of charge to all the neighborhood kids. Patterson spends about 3 hours each Saturday afternoon with the kids, teaching, encouraging and enjoying their developing imaginations.
Here’s a photo of the kids, enjoying the class and their time with Patterson.
I am on a mission this year to "Inspire Hope" wherever I can, I'm literally in tears right now after receiving this photo. Never underestimate what you can do with one crazy idea!! And never underestimate the difference some love, support and encouragement can do for even one person!
The art initiative is our newest program in Haiti – in addition to funding the supplies for the art class, we employ Patterson to teach the art class art and share his talents with the children of Haiti.
If you love art, please consider sponsoring this program and help us make a difference for these kids.
