Create For a Cause

Members of the State College Area High School National Honor Society held a " Create for a Cause" workshop at the Makery in downtown State College. The event was designed to raise money for art supplies for the Urukundo School in Rwanda

At the event children were able to work with clay, create wire sculptures, paint, draw, have caricatures made and more. Twenty-two high school students worked with children at each of the stations. They showed them art techniques then let them explore and be creative.

The day netted $340 which will be used for much needed art supplies so the kids in Rwanda can work on projects to be exchanged with several elementary classes as well as high school students.

These global connections are a great way for students of all ages to learn to give back and make a difference in other children's lives.
