ARTISTIC JOURNEYS - 2009

As part of their participation, we ask all the kids to express their thanks by sending cards and letters to our donors. This is a great way for them to learn the simple ways in which to say thank you and it encourages the kids to use their own creativity.

Here is a list of the Artistic Journeys that we provided during 2009, and the groups of kids in Southern California that attended them:
