The Colored Pencil Project is an exceptionally inspiring non-profit. Donating to TCCP is a privilege in that through making a contribution, we get to be part of something magical. The TCCP brings an abundance of hope and joyful self-expression into these children's lives who live in impoverished, often stark environments. The fearless leader, Hannah, is extraordinarily dedicated to this cause and has the energy, intellect, and passion to continue to expand the TCCP and impact countless lives. And our world is a better place for it.

I have had the opportunity to watch The Colored Pencil Project grow from the seed of an idea into an incredibly well organized, accountable and successful nonprofit. Bringing art supplies and lessons to children in developing countries is such a simple idea, yet so very powerful. This work has an immediate impact on the children, and for donors the benefits are visible and tangible. I know that the money I donate goes directly to bringing pencils and paper (and a lot of joy) to children all over the world. TCPP makes it easy to make a difference. And for this reason, I will continue to support them each year. The Colored Pencil Project has an excellent track record – it has reached some 2,000 children abroad in just two short trips and hopes to work with another 1,500 this year. Imagine what it will accomplish as this small but fast growing nonprofit attracts even more support for its easy-to-see results, dedicated leadership, playful multimedia and creative outreach. I hope you will consider giving your support to this very worthy and truly grassroots organization.

Donating to the Colored Pencil Project has been my most gratifying charitable donation. Poverty stricken communities need many basic necessities - it is easy to forget that children need nourishment not only for the body but also for the mind and spirit. The Colored Pencil Project is exceptional in its focus on self-expression, creativity and the simple joy that art provides. The Colored Pencil Project connects the children to donors throughout the year with emails and picture postcards depicting the children’s first expression of art. As this exciting nonprofit organization continues to expand its reach to children both locally and worldwide, I feel honored to pledge my ongoing support.

As a contributor and a close observer, I am continually amazed by the work of The Colored Pencil Project, which, with the simplest of means - paper, pencils and love- allows underprivileged children in disadvantaged parts of the globe to express themselves through art work. Their emotions, thoughts, concerns and aspirations are touchingly visible in their drawings, and might otherwise go unarticulated. Fortunately, The Colored Pencil Project has a vital vision of art and childhood, as inseparable unities. That it has accomplished so much on such a small budget is a tribute to the energy and the dreams of its young founder, Hannah Richards. The organization, however, deserves and needs to exist on a larger scale. Not only do more youths merit the chance to participate in the program, but the art work itself - beautifully direct and unfailingly moving - deserves to be seen and enjoyed by the public at large. I say this as one of the first volunteers in 1963 in the Peace Corps. I have seen and worked with many volunteer organizations and I can honestly say that the Colored Pencil Project is as meritorious as it is innovative.

We have been very fortunate to be able to be involved in the Colored Pencil Project as it has transformed from South Africa to India. The work done with the orphans transcends continents.
