PROJECTS - EDUCATION
Creative Arts - GHANA
Art is often a subject that falls by the wayside in poor communities. This project hopes to change that by giving Ghanaian children the opportunity to learn about art and express themselves through this medium. With so many challenges in their daily life, this program is a unique opportunity for them to be creative and increase their positivity. Participants on this program will have a teaching plan to follow, but are encouraged to share anything that they feel will be beneficial to the children. Art is more than just a creative endeavor. It can also help the children develop a sense of self-worth increase their focus, memory and have a positive effect in other academic subjects.
