I am looking into starting a scholarship fund for children who have a parent incarcerated for 15 + years. It would be funded by artwork and poetry from prisoners wordworking drawing painting anything that could be sold for money. I need help and information. I do not know much about it, but it can be done somehow. PLEASE HELP if you can. it will help keep our children out of the system

I wish I could give you some help on this, but I know absolutely nothing about getting this started... But, I do know who can help... Send BSS (Barbara) a PM. She does this type of thing now in California... She can give you some tips I am sure. This is a wonderful idea.

Sincerely

Donna

What a great idea. I don't know how to get it started, but I have some friends who would be glad to contribute some of their work for sale once you do.
