A picture is worth a thousand words.  Here are a few that might fill in the blanks left by my reporting:

The fact that Art Creation Foundation for Children offers three meals a day to its youth is very very important.  Here is where money for food goes:

Sorting beans for lunch

Enjoying lunch

Dining area

And here are more photographs of what the children are learning and accomplishing:

Mosaics are used to create vases out of bottles.

Another shot of the photography group.

Students doing homework after school.

Group working on papier mache projects.

The work is painted.

Paper can be glued to a mask base.

A fabulous mask

The showroom in our new building.

A mosaic design begins with a sketch.

The mosaic pieces are cut and glued to mesh.

The tiles are cemented to the wall.

Grout is added when the wall is complete.

You can see how the children’s imagination and skills have evolved in these images.  And they are so proud of their work!

ACFFC will celebrate its tenth anniversary as a 501c3 corporation later this year.  This milestone is the perfect time for us to reflect on the amazing achievements of the past decade and move ahead on plans for the future.  A future that looks very promising for the Art Creation Foundation for Children youth!
