You’ve taken what you love to do – not to mention the discipline in which you make your living – and selflessly put it to work in the service of children. At a critical juncture in their lives, these children are being shown – not just told – that there are adults in the world who are not only willing to take an interest in them and their activities, but – just as importantly – their ideas, opinions, talents, dreams, and ambitions. These kids are encouraged to work side-by-side with adults, and collaboratively with one another, as equals in the creative process. The end result is the creation of a brand that will identify them to the world… a brand that they will forever know came from deep within the wellspring of creativity that exists within them. Talk about a tremendously empowering gift.

Honestly… I’m on the verge of tears right now just thinking about the charge that those children got out of that day. That is, as my grandmother used to say, “God’s work” right there. Kudos to both of you!
