| "Thank you" from the children in Haiti |
In the spring I brought more than 100 pieces of original artwork beautifully created by Honolulu children to decorate the bare walls of the rebuilt Gentille Hirondelle elementary school outside of Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Although the school in Haiti does not have any art supplies at all (no paper, no markers, no paint, no glue etc...), they invited an art teacher to the school one afternoon to teach some basic techniques and to share their creativity. The teacher brought paper and basic supplies with him and the Haitian children worked together to create some simple art filled with lots of love for their new friends in Hawaii. Here are some of the children at Montessori Community School in Honolulu, Hawaii enjoying their gifts of friendship and appreciation from Haiti.
