Umbrella Project Forecast

When you teach children that their actions make a difference, their lives will be different!

By giving children tools for creative discovery, The Umbrella Project shows our Youngest Citizens of our World Society that they can make a mark!

Throughout time, through the common language of art, children around the world create in the innate desire to reveal and heal their hearts. Knowing the importance of self-expression, The Umbrella Project provides a way for children to communicate their visions of hope and healing and in the process show that they care for other children in crisis. Under our symbolic umbrella of protection, well, ill, and challenged children learn social action through exhibitions of their one-of-a-kind umbrellas which then raise funds to help other children in need.

Wherever Life's storms impact young people, we are there!

ONE WORLD ONE HEART to HELP HAITI

In the aftershock of the Earthquake in Haiti, The Umbrella Project created an ongoing national endeavor to help survivors restore physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.

Through the symbolic image of protection, the umbrella serves as a powerful expression of care. Painted by school-age children the umbrella becomes a vision of hope, and a means for young people to raise funds to help others in need.

The Umbrella Project endeavors to teach children that we are all connected through the common language of art. Every child can make their mark, and every child can help another through creativity. Through painting to help others, children learn they can make a difference. They gain self-esteem and learn social action.

It is time to realize that an earthquake in one part of the world causes global ripples as the energy of disaster, through the International network, touches our hearts and homes. We are one people connected through our common love of life.

At this time of trial, we need to come together as one family to help each other, not only survive, but thrive as a Global Community.

Since 1990, The Umbrella Project, activating global community service through art, has responded with education and funds wherever the need is greatest.

We go wherever the need is greatest and request the assistance of children throughout the world to help us in our global efforts to bring all children in under an umbrella of protection.
