Description

Budget

minimal cost for refreshments and art supplies

Impact

The children were very careful and patient in their drawing, doing the best job they could to accurately draw the seniors. Many of the children don't have grandparents living nearby and enjoyed the time with older people. The seniors were very encouraging and quite impressed with the quality of the portraits.
