Artwork!

Here is some beautiful artwork from Shubarna, Authentic Community member AF's sponsored child.

I'm not sure, but I think it's a hand.


Also, here is a great picture from Mokles in Bangladesh, the match of Authentic Community member AF.

I believe it's a some people with a flag, a flower, and a fish man.

Artwork - Kids for Kids!

Kids of PS321 class k-139 making snowflakes for our sponsored kids. No snow in Bangladesh, El Salvador, and Egypt, I assume, but it's the thought that counts.

Authentic Community member Lily will be writing an accompanying letter for the snowflakes, which will then be packed in ice and vacuum sealed for the long, hot journey from classroom to post office to classroom.

Images of the letter and snowflakes to come!
