My Project

I sponsor my school's Arts and Crafts Club and strive to create space where students can express themselves, explore their creativity, and build confidence through hands-on art projects. However, our limited supply of materials has started to hold back our big ideas.

Art is more than just a creative outlet—it's a proven way to support emotional well-being, improve fine motor skills, and boost problem-solving abilities.

It also helps students learn to communicate in new ways, work collaboratively, and take pride in their efforts.

With your support, I'll be able to provide essentials like canvases, paint, markers, scissors, beads, modeling clay, and more. Your donation will give my students the freedom to explore who they are, express how they feel, and bring their ideas to life—one craft at a time.

Thank you for helping me nurture the next generation of creative thinkers!
