You certainly have identified a very important area of concern for the education and development of children.

What you are doing reflects such a refreshingly integrated view of children's development -- a much-needed perspective in a time when children's growth and learning often seem to be approached in a very reductionistic, fragmented way.

The positive message of peace and hope promised by the International Child Art Foundation is commendable and worthy of great recognition. (November 2, 2003)

I am grateful to organizations like the International Child Art Foundation that give us the opportunity to see the world
through the eyes of our nation’s young people.

I believe that you have developed this wonderful program to inspire youth to tap into their creative talents, empathy, and self-expression in quite a powerful way. The arts as a bridge to peace, empathy, understanding - as a link between cultures, traditions, religions, classes - all the labels that we humans have created to tell ourselves that we are separate and unequal.
