The preschool that my children go to did a colored pencil drive for The Colored Pencil Project. The teachers at the preschool involved children and families and worked the pencil drive into the curriculum. It was so strong to hear the reactions of these preschoolers (who have almost unlimited access to art supplies) when they learned that there are children in the world who do not have even paper and pencils to use to express themselves. With the relatively simple act of distributing art supplies and curriculum, The Colored Pencil Project makes a profound impact on those receiving and giving.

I have seen the the Colored Pencil Project in action in the field (South Africa and Boston), and I have been consistently impressed by the value of the organization's work and the commitment of CPP's Director. CPP gives children the chance to tap into their natural creativity and gives them an outlet through which to express their hopes and dreams.

A simple and easily implemented program that has a tremendous impact through its direct and personal outreach to children in developing countries. Art is one of the most powerful tools at our disposal to help us visualize ourselves and our world. The function is even more pure and powerful in the lives of children who have not yet learned to curtail their self-expression. I'm thrilled to be involved with such a worthy cause.
