New Art Room in Lahaina

My Project

Our students in Lahaina are incredibly resilient and creative. After the devastating fire, they’ve shown a remarkable spirit for learning, despite the challenges of transitioning to a new temporary location. The art supplies and equipment we’re requesting are essential to their growth and recovery. Watercolor Crayons, table for their art supplies , brushes and more measuring tools will not only fuel their creativity but also help develop critical skills like fine motor coordination, self-expression, and problem-solving.

Our goal is to rebuild a vibrant art program where every child can explore their imagination and express themselves.

What makes our students special is their perseverance and passion for art, even in tough times. These resources will allow them to heal, learn, and thrive.
