Bridging the world with art in a spirit of peace, commonalities before differences…

Freedom in Creation (FIC) is excited to continue our Global Village Education collaboration with Hathaway Brown School (HB), Shaker Heights, OH. After lectures and a FIC art exhibition the HB girls created banners to “join hands with” young FIC artists in Uganda. Thereafter the HB girls voted and awarded FIC with their $3,000 GROW Grant for community service and education. The proceeds enabled a well to be rehabilitated at a northern Uganda primary school. Access to water will increase community health and education and reduce gender violence for girls tasked to walk long distances to collect water.
