Aug. 2, 2011 - PRLog -- August 2, 2011 – This Saturday drawchange will bring hope to a group of Bhutanese refugees bybringing the gift of art to our Bhutanese community of Clarkston, GA this Saturday during a no-charge event to the children. Drawchange will be creating ‘Pinwheels of Hope’ with the children. This project is meant to help the children release hurtful past experiences and welcome new ones. On the inside of the pinwheel they will draw all the wonderful things about  their new homes here in Georgia. On the inside, neatly tucked away but never forgotten , they will be encouraged to draw all the great things they remember about their homeland. It will be very inspiring to them as they blow into their pinwheels to watch them turn-as their hurtful memories blow in the wind surrounded by happy memories of their wonderful new lives.

Drawchange welcomes a partnership with Huffman House Inc. of Lawrenceville, GA for this project. Huffman House is a new social services agency geared towards alleviating human suffering by providing food to hungry individuals, families, and communities. Huffman House will provide a grocery bag full of  nutritious food for each child’s family.  This way the child will be encouraged and loved through art experience and encouraged and loved through healthy food.   To learn more about Huffman House, please visit: www.huffmanhouse.com.

Drawchange Founder and CEO, Jennie Lobato expresses, “I am very excited about granting an opportunity for this community to find beauty in their new lives. Creating this project will hopefully serve as a meditation for the children. And we can provide on their art experience by sending them home with everything needed to cook a nutritious meal! I’m very excited!”
