Generous donors, 2019 is coming to an end. There is still time to donate to Youlou Arts Foundation. We need your support more than ever to help support our afterschool art club.

January 2020, our long anticipated project will start. We have been hoping to start this initiative, when we launched the Youlou Art Centre in 2017. Plans were made to offer an after school art program to children between the ages of 5 to 12 at the Centre. But our plan did not work out. It took a long time to finally figure it out.

There were many problems to solve. Finally we realized we had to be flexible and creative. Most of our problems were centered around transportation. How to get the children to the Centre, which is not in a central location.

After a great deal of thought we realized rather than "dragging" the children to the Centre, it would be easier to offer the art program at the school. Then there was the question of dealing with the art supplies. We built a cupboard, put it on castor wheels, and placed a lock on it.

I think I can truthfully say we are ready to start "Youlou After School Art Club."

Stay tuned for more updates on the Art Clubs.

Here's wishing all our donors a wonderful holiday season.
