When I was in Venezuela a few years ago on a government funded chalk drawing project I was brought to tears when I saw that the Arts organization (IARTES) was giving every kid (all 800) a goodie bag that had a few treats AND art supplies.
The kids and community there in the outlaying areas were super poor. I realized that me just being there was a way for them to get supplies to make more art when they went home, and that would even impact other siblings and their parents. That brought tears to my eyes.
I also ran a master 3D workshop for professional artists from all the regions in the country. Excellent collaboration and teaching experience. I taught them everything I knew and then they went back and taught others. Perfect!
OK, we kinda had fun! Memories for a life time!
