I am constantly inspired by The Colored Pencil Project, and in awe of all that it accomplishes with such simple materials. Its innovative mission achieves the unlikely goal of connecting impoverished, marginalized children to their personal experiences and their joy through artistic expression, and connecting people across the globe. It's a rare gem of a nonprofit with a generous, spirited founder, a dedicated board and a mission with SUCH heart.

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.
The Great!
