We are finishing a project where we provided some equipment to an afterschool school that help disadvantaged youth learn artistic skills. They have 2 amazing teachers here, one is an artist that teaches art to the 8-18 year olds. We provided easels. art boxes, computers and a heater!
The other is a fashion design teacher. What a fun teacher - they are encouraged to design and create. We provided 3 sewing machines and a computer. Hopefully these classes will teach the students skills that can be used to provide a trade or future for them.
They said thank you with a nice luncheon as we got to know each other better.
The very best gift was a beautiful figurine that they made for E. Reese. He had asked about Georgia's Father Christmas last time we met with them and they made one for him. The art teacher made the head, hands and feet, the design teacher made the clothes and another lady made the coat and embroidered on it. What a treasure.

Wow! That figure is beautiful. What a wonderful gift. A way to remember them by using what you helped them with.
