My Project

We are reaching out to request donations of crayons and a crayon sharpener for our art class. Art is a vital part of our education, allowing students to express creativity, explore new ideas, and develop problem-solving skills. To create their best work, our artists need a full range of colors to bring their imaginations to life. Currently, we have 7 design tables where our artists work, and each table has a cart for carrying art supplies. However, we are limited by having only a basic set of 8 colors. To fully enhance the learning experience, we would love to add a box of crayons to each cart, in a wide spectrum—ideally 120 colors—to inspire and support our students, along with some twistable crayons for our younger artists. Your donation would help ensure that every artist has the tools they need to create and color their masterpieces.
