Children affected by AIDS learn about art and self expression in art classes
conducted on-site in the slum communities and rural areas of Cambodia where
they live. Many of the children are the primary income earners for families
that are ravaged by AIDS. They work shinning shoes, scavenging garbage or
selling newspapers and often cannot go to school. Our Art and Literacy Curriculum for Children at Risk helps the children catch up on literacy skills while they gain self-esteem
through their creative accomplishments. The program, conducted in partnership
with the Indradevi Association, a Cambodian NGO, includes teacher training,
home visits to families affected by AIDS and public art exhibitions of the
children’s art.
Students display their artwork.
Indradevi Association’s Home Care Team staff learn to use our Art and Literacy
Curriculum for Children at Risk. The curriculum has been translated and is available in Khmer and English.
We appreciate your support.
