Art Sessions

BY raintees

May 11, 2010

Hundreds of generous Rain Tees fans from all over the world have donated art supplies to the children we work with in our Rain Tees drawing sessions. Here is a photographic journey of where your pens, pencils, paper and crayons may go.

(Above) Rain Tees founder Beth Doane and the Rain Tees team carry donated art supplies to load into canoes and be taken to tribal villages deep in the Amazon.

We are greeted in a remote community by beautiful smiling faces!

The children offer to help us carry the new art supplies to their one room schoolhouse. This village is lucky because they have a school and a teacher in their community.

A young boy smiles at our cameras outside the schoolhouse.

A young girl asks to carry some paper donated by Brenda and Joe in Texas.

Another offers to handle the eco conscious colored pencils that came donated by the Falsini family in Dubai, United Arab Emirates!

This young boy takes a taste of some soy crayons donated by Lynn in Chicago, Illinois.

These children enjoy art supplies donated from Sugarspeak in Hollywood, California.

Many of the children we work with have never drawn before and having the opportunity to see them express themselves through art is such an amazing gift for our team to share with the world.

Rain Tees founder Beth Doane collects artwork from the children to take back to the USA and be made into a new Rain Tee collection!

Some of the children at this drawing session even get their own Rain Tees!

Thanks to everyone who has helped create the magic of a Rain Tees drawing session in jungles around the globe!

We feel that just by just looking at the faces of these beautiful children its clear how appreciated your gifts really are. Thanks to everyone who has helped make our drawing sessions possible and so very special each time!

  15. Beth, thanks for suggesting I put it on Raintees! I am putting it on FB and here. XOXOXOXO

    I am excited to announce that I launched my Cofán Project on Kickstarter.com to raise funds and continue my work with the artisans and community in the Ecuadorian Amazon. I invite you to support this project I am committed to, in every way you can. This will ensure my prompt return to continue what I sta…rted with the funds needed.

    I have been designing for many years and by far this is the most fulfilling endeavor I have undertaken. Through my friends in non-profit organizations, fashion and eco-businesses in different countries, I am embarking on projects with indigenous communities. My devotion to this collaborative cause with the communities is steadfast and ongoing.

    Please visit the Kickstarter link, support, spread the word and pass it on! I appreciate All your support!

    Thank you! ♥

  17. Salutations from an avid reader. Now, there have been many entries that I have read today but not one of them comes close to this. Well done! And I want you to be aware that my comrades consider me intensely critical therefore that is high praise indeed!

  20. How, pray may I demonstrate one’s sheer appreciation of this entry ! Far too frequently I am abandoned with a sense of mediocrity as I analyse the internet, however this is evidently an exception. Bravo!
