China Earthquake Relief – Coloring Away Pain

160 days ago by Jenn Collins

KidsWorld will be collecting new boxes of crayons for the organization Coloring Away Pain. Coloring Away Pain is dedicated to bringing playful resources to children dealing with difficult life situations. They address issues such as bullying, death of a loved one, a deployed parent, or a natural disaster. Through the use of animal characters and easily digested stories, children are often able to open up and express themselves and their feelings related to the trauma they’ve experienced.

The current goal of Coloring Away Pain is to send 40,000 boxes of crayons and 60,000 coloring books to the young victims of the Earthquake in China. KidsWorld will be accepting crayons, for their benefit from Saturday, June 28th – Sunday July 12th. Donations can be made at any of the KidsWorld classrooms.
