humankindness

"What this world needs is a new kind of army - the army of the kind." - Cleveland Amory

The purpose of humankindness is to raise funds and collect materials to benefit people in need.  Basically, I've had a compulsion to make jewelry since I was a teenager and people seem to like it.  I want my art to be about more than just money, I want to use the beauty of what I create to promote greater understanding and peace in our world.  In a word, more humankindness.

In 2009, I provided school and art supplies (pencils, erasers, crayons, pencil sharpeners, construction paper, glue, markers, notebooks and school uniforms) to 55 children (K-5) in Dhaderian, Punjab, India.  I also sponsored the installation of additional lighting in two elementary school classrooms.

 2010 will bring a new beneficiary to humankindness- TBD.  Watch this space for more information!
