There is a wonderful place in Santa Ana called the Children’s Therapeutic Arts Center. Here, children with developmental disabilities partake in after-school dance, music and art classes, which are all provided at no cost, thanks to many generous private donations and grants. The center hopes that such programs will prevent high-risk children from becoming involved in drugs and violence further down the road.
Unfortunately, the only thing the Arts Center lacked was enough instruments for their many students. This week, that all changed! Coastal International had several unsold instruments leftover from an exhibition earlier in the year, and after learning about the students and their need, donated instruments including guitars, drum sets, keyboards, saxophones and more.
In these tough economic times, it is still amazing that people are still remembering those in need. Perhaps focusing on others can help us remain thankful for what we have.
Your comments are welcome.
