Magic words

I was reading one of the blogs that I follow and felt that this article really tied in with what Free Arts Minnesota provides for children. These children come to Free Arts, often defeated, lonely, scared and with little to no self-esteem. They lack positive relationships with adults. Their needs are often basic but unattended to.

What if we had a world where each child was surrounded by adults that believed in them? I think it would be truly amazing. Just think of a time when someone said they believed in you. Think about the confidence it gave you and the self-worth you felt. Think about what became possible just by having heard the words.

Free Arts Minnesota is a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing the healing powers of artistic expression into the lives of abused, neglected and at-risk children and their families. Through art they build confidence and self-esteem. In the weekly mentor programs they build positive relationships with adults.

Imagine a world where every child has an adult that believes in them!
