Philanthropy

  • Bethel - During my time in China, I had the privilege of working weekly with visually impaired orphans. I developed an arts program that both matched and stretched the children's understanding of beauty and the creative process. Many of our projects have been used for fundraising events with great success. www.bethelchina.org
