This is from Malaya reporter Madelaine Cabrera. Hope we can all help. She is organizing an art therapy session for Sendong children on March 10, 2012.
Disasters can have a severe impact on communities, but the impact can be difficult for the most vulnerable in our society: The CHILDREN.
We can all help them cope in the aftermath of Sendong by reassuring that everything will be all right through more donations and prayers.
Let us unite on helping alleviate the pain of one of the most marginalized.
The American Art Therapy Association says, “Art therapy uses the creative process of art-making to improve and enhance physical, mental and emotional well-being. The creative process involved in artistic self-expression helps people to resolve conflicts and problems, develop interpersonal skills, manage behavior, reduce stress, increase self-esteem and self-awareness, and achieve insight. Art therapy integrates the fields of human development, visual art (such as drawing, painting,etc.), and the creative process with models of counseling and psychotherapy.”
Through your help, donations and pledges, we can all make this possible.
