Key points:

1. Drawchange uses art to help the children cope with their daily stresses. Art is only the vehicle.

1A. Since art is only the vehicle, the end product isn't important. It's the journey that matters-as cliché as that sounds :)

2. Please help me with discipline. The children are cooped up in their rooms ALL day (other than school) and this is the only time "out" that they've had many of the times so be understanding and try to love them through their rowdiness.

2A. Because of this, they will try to push their limits. Your assistance in helping me manage them will be much appreciated!

3. Have fun! They can tell when you're stressed.

Thank you for volunteering with us!! We are very appreciative of you.
