Art Feeds lives by the motto "Love Naively. Give Generously.Be Foolishly Compassionate"
and they succeed in living that out. I want to encourage you to engage in this movement. They are working their hearts and their bodies, giving their time and their love to the children that they work with. You can do
nate to their cause - which your donations now will be going to Ghana in efforts to create art packages for children. Donate money, donate art supplies, donate your time. You as an American have a lot to give, so start giving whether that be a one time act or a continually commitment. Don't have the image of a regular, rather spoiled child getting art supplies and just playing. Picture that child that has been abused in more ways than one, that child that has not only been deprived of true, unconditional love but been deprived of the essence of his childhood, picture that child and how that small paint brush and small piece of paper help him not
only process the damage he has been put through, not only how those tools become a healthy outlet of the pain he has felt, but how that brush and paper actually heal his heart and mend that wound.
By donating to this cause you are not merely donating paints and paper, you are donating a tangible form of healing, of love.

ok - Here's the deal... Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's just not. (Dr. Seuss) So how about you start to care? How about you start to make the world better? How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world. (Anne Frank) How wonderful is it that you can start right this instance to care? to better the lives of others? I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. And I will not let what I cannot do interfere with what I can do. (Edward Everett Hale) I understand, there are a lot of obstacles; time, money, other priorities; that stand in your way of changing the world right now, today. But how can you let those obstacles stand in the way? How can you allow busy-ness to cast a cloud of procrastination onto your desires for change? Because...It is the greatest of all mistakes to do nothing because you can only do little - do what you can. Right now. (Sydney Smith) If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one. (Mother Teresa) That will make all the difference, in the world. He who gives when he is asked has waited too long. (Sunshine Magazine) So your already behind, you've already procrastinated this for Far Too Long! So... Dare to reach out your hand into the darkness, to pull another hand into the light. (Norman B. Rice) Dare yourself to not only Find a need But to fill it. (Ruth Stafford Peale) You must be the change you wish to see in the world. (Mahatma Ghandi)
Because all summed up and because in the end the only things that matter are people, are their hearts. So if your going to put anything off - why are you allowing it to be the beating of the hearts that make our world go round? I have found the paradox that if I love until it hurts, then there is no hurt, but only more love. (Mother Teresa).
