Art as a Medium of Healing
On January 8, our founder, Danqing Shen, took an impactful step by delivering art directly to the Thompson Autism and Neurodevelopment Center at CHOC. This center is a key support hub for families dealing with neurodevelopmental conditions in Orange County. Danqing was warmly welcomed as she presented 41 unique pieces of art.
​
This donation includes artwork in various mediums, such as drawing, watercolor, and oil painting. The goal is to fill the center with color and creativity, aiming to inspire hope and enhance emotional well-being for the children who receive care there. The artwork serves not merely as decoration but as a source of inspiration and a tool for creativity among young patients.
During her visit, the center's executive director showcased the well-equipped facilities and shared the multiple programs offered to children with autism and other neurodevelopmental challenges.

CHOC Book Donation
Throughout the years, our goal has been to support our local communities when we can. We have paired up with CHOC (Children's Hospital of Orange County) to support their Children's Library. This library's goal is to introduce their students to literature and give them the opportunity to take it with them. They receive donations of books both new and classic.
Our Self-Publishing Children's Book program is designed to have students write, illustrate and create their own books to be published. All proceeds made from their books are donated to our local communities, in which we are pairing up with CHOC.

If you would like to support our students and our local communities, please consider purchasing our students books.
