We received artwork about caring from our school friends in Latvia. We looked at all their artwork, read the words they wrote about caring, and made comments about how their artwork showed a sense of caring. We put their artwork up in our Global Art Show: A Sense of Caring. Their artwork and writing showed caring about elders. Click here to read about our Elder's Project.
Scroll below to see their artwork with some of their writing and our comments. Click here to read our e-mail messages to them. We wrote e-mail reply messages to our friends in Latvia about their artwork and ideas about caring.
