YOUTH

The artistic storytelling collaboration of Drawn To Develop begins early in the year when street-involved youth who benefit from the practical support of Street Kids International in developing countries around the world share their stories with us through their drawings. Each drawing is a window into their reality – aspirations, fears and dreams.

Click the images below to view the moving drawings created by youth participating
this year. These drawings will be featured on October 13th at Drawn To Develop
2011 beside the captivating photographic prints that they inspire.
