Art Exchange at the Fall Fair a big success
Children at this year's Comox Valley Exhibition had the chance to communicate to children in Assam, India though large postcards. The postcards gave them an opportunity to draw, collage, and create an image of a sustainable world on one side and to write a message on the other. The completed cards were collected and will be displayed on this website for our community to see. Then the cards will make the trip to Assam to be delivered to children there who're involved with the project.
The kids and organizers on the Assam side are eagerly awaiting the arrival of this art. Over the next few months, they'll be creating more artwork for our community to share here in the Comox Valley.

More about Kids to Kids on Fertile Ground.org
For the whole story on Kids to Kids, please see our page on Fertile Ground's website.
"For the past 7 years, Fertile Ground has provided encouragement, training and resources to farmers, small-scale tea growers, extension staff, teachers, students and families living in the state of Assam.
Our projects support people to grow healthy food by bringing together some of India's traditional practices with low-cost practices that rely on locally-available materials.
An important part of our work has been to provide opportunities for volunteers to participate in outreach activities in towns and villages throughout the state - to share their skills and enthusiasm, and exchange information about the cultures and values of our two countries. "
