Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

I serve students from low income families. Most of my students are African-American and also newcomers or 2nd generation of immigrants from El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala.

Despite all the difficulties, my students are very kind and they have a good heart.

They are dedicated and resilient. They have also showed pride, poise and perseverance to become successful in life.

My Project

I want these watercolor supplies to create an urban sketchers group at school that can meet afterschool or on Saturdays to go explore the neighborhood and capture the nature and the architecture around our school or downtown. We have very talented students that enjoy drawing and painting cartoons and anime or manga comics but this will help them learn new techniques and forms of expression to become illustrators or digital designers in the future. With these supplies, we will help them develop their innate talent while training their eye to look to the world with a different lenses.
