Colored Pencil Project
February 10, 2010
As someone who has worked with and for nonprofits for many years, The Colored Pencil Project (CPP) stands out because it touches so many lives with so much impact with so very little overhead. Virtually all the donations go to the mission...bringing the world's people together by reaching out to children in the poorest regions of the world and bringing them joy and self-expression and sharing their message with children here in the United States. It is a program that connects strangers in profound and life-affirming ways.
The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
the impact the program has with the children here in towns such as Acton and Boxborough, MA when they reach out to the children of India, South Africa and, this year, Central America.
More feedback...
What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
the people involved are extremely close to the project on the ground and are dreamers yet doers.
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
Staff? We are all volunteers and they are folks with wonderful hearts and terrific talents.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
bring color and joy to thousands more children who have never had the opportunity to hold a colored-pencil, must less, express themselves in art to others across oceans.
